Top pick: #2 (SHY HUMOR) (4-1) - Very fast from the gate, he's better on the grass but trainer Mark Hennig drops him to a new low in price for his return to a dirt sprint. Gelding can stalk if the rail horse wants the lead and that gives him the edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Cameron Canyon) (5-2) - Speedy colt finished a distant second at this tag on Dec. 5 in his first start in three months. Has the rail, a fast recent work, and he gets a rider upgrade for this attempt.
3rd pick: #12 (Hidden Vow) (12-1) - Longshot goes turf to dirt, drops in class, and shortens up in distance. In shape and gelding has enough speed to not let this tough post hurt his chances.
4th pick: #10 (Commanding Officer) (8-1) - He has some speed but has had his chances compromised in his last pair when he was involved in "bumping" incidents right at the break. Can factor with a clean getaway.
