Top pick: #6 (ADRIATIC PRINC) - Nice effort last out saw him chase a wire-to-wire winner and hold down the place spot by 9 lengths. Improving and he comes-back at the same tag and price. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Carnival Candyman) - Well bet in his debut he raced wide and held his ground to finish a distant third. Races for a good small barn and draws the rail. Look for an improved effort.
3rd pick: #2 (Bronco Willie) - Competitive in his last three facing tougher trainer Bill Morey Jr. drops him in price and he has a sharp work here on Jan. 30. Win threat.
