Top pick: #1 (PIKE) (5-2) - Very lightly raced, he's stretching out around two-turns after a second-place finish here at this level going 5.5-furlongs facing a bit weaker on Dec 3rd. He's worked since, draws the rail, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Sea Survivor) (6-1) - Price play is also stretching out after an even fourth-place finish in a dirt sprint Dec. 15. A career best he's bred to handle the trip and can factor at a square price.
3rd pick: #8 (Memo to Reese) (3-1) - Another going around two-turns for the first time, he's the main speed and is taking a big drop in class. Idaho is a strong factor today.
4th pick: #3 (Provable) (7-2) - He's back in with maidens of a pair of even fourth-place finishes facing tougher. He's another trying this trip for the first time and must be left in the mix.
