Top pick: #11 (GOLD TIE PLEASE) (5-1) - Lightly raced gelding rallied to finish 4th here at this tag going two-turns on Dec 26 in his first off a Doug O'Neill claim. He's worked him since, cuts him back a bit, and Bejarano keeps the faith.
2nd pick: #12 (Cuneo) (4-1) - Grey gelding rallied from far back to finish 2nd last out at Hollywood in his first off an 8 week break and first at this tag. Draws a nice post and is a win threat.
3rd pick: #1 (Berlasconi) (5-2) - Away since August 0f 2012, 5yo is working well for his return and does so at a new low in price. There are obvious issues, but he's a big factor at this tag if ready.
4th pick: #9 (Bringon the Wain) (12-1) - Veteran maiden has early speed and has done his best racing on this surface 7-0-1-4. He's getting back into shape following a year's layoff and showed a much improved effort last out. "Live" longshot.
