Top pick: #5 (TRIBALTIQUE) (7-2) - Speed/stalker enters in very sharp form and hails from the barn of leading trainer Bob Diodoro. Cal-bred loves this surface (7-3-2-1), and moves up in class for this attempt.
2nd pick: #4 (Torrey's K T M) (3-1) - Grey gelding runs third back from almost a two month break, and is dropping down to the price-tag of his last win. He has some back class, is well-bred, and a win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (So Shiny) (5-2) - Stalker enters in good form and has some back class to call upon. He should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into.
4th pick: #8 (Mogilny) (6-1) - Away since late Oct., he has back class, has won here in the past, and is a threat if ready off the long break.
