Top pick: #1 (GOOD TO BE ME) - The probable favorite has run well since switching to dirt racing late last fall. Gelding has fine early speed, has the rail, and a good maintenance breeze on Feb. 5 heading into this. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Gotta Go Round) - He raced evenly while wide last out in the same race as the top choice and finished just under 7 lengths behind him. He's improved in his last pair and can contend for the top spot at a nice price.
3rd pick: #2 (Just a Dab) - Working fast for his first start since late October, this five-year-old was improving racing on the grass at that time. Has a "bullet" work on Jan. 25 and Dominguez takes the mount.
