Top pick: #1 (WESTERN TRYST) (3-1) - He's raced evenly in his last pair at this level and had wide trips in each. One-run type moves to the rail, has a pair of recent works, and hails from a winning barn (Rudy Rodriguez). Has a solid shot at upsetting "Frost Jordan."
2nd pick: #2 (Frost Jordan) (2-1) - The probable favorite, he's lightly raced and working fast for her first since breaking his maiden here on Dec. 31. Three-year-old by "Frost Giant" likes to rate and make one run and this colt may have a bright future.
3rd pick: #6 (Dark Roast) (5-2) - He's a better animal on the turf, but has some dirt races in his past that could make him a threat. Colt gives away a big recency edge to the top pair as he hasn't seen action since Oct. 13. A factor if ready.
4th pick: #5 (Jack's R Wild) (15-1) - No-speed type will be a big price and comes off a wide trio when beaten 6 lengths at this level and distance on Feb. 10. A fast and/or contested pace would help out his chances.
