Premium Pick

Top pick: #10 (APACHE AMBUSH) (4-1) - Speedy sort goes turf to dirt and drops back into a claimer after a pair of competitive races against tougher. Working fast for this and I like his chances.

2nd pick: #9 (Through My Eyes) (4-1) - He hasn't raced in just over 11 months, but was competitive in two of three starts at that time. He ran second at this tag here exactly a year ago and is a big factor if ready.

3rd pick: #7 (Grand Humor) (7-2) - He hasn't raced since late Jan. of 2013 when he pressed a fast pace and weakened late. Working very fast for this and he runs in a claimer for the first time. Win threat if ready.

4th pick: #2 (Second Proposal) (5-1) - He breaks just off the rail and has some solid early speed to bring to the party. Working fast locally and he's been competitive in both previous races on this surface.

5th pick: #6 (Alpha Bullet) (5-1) - Excellent debut Nov. 30 at Hollywood saw him involved from start-to-finish and miss by a nose racing for half this price. Working fast for this and he can factor if he repeats his "poly" race on this course.
