Top pick: #3 (THOUSAND EXCUSES) - Game win last out when he drove through on the rail while in tight quarters before drawing away to a four length win. Working sharply since for a goon barn and Dominguez takes over today. The top pick.
2nd pick: #4 (Shrimp Dancer) - He finished 3rd here in a stakes on Dec.4th and is training well for his first race in seven weeks. Stalker has competitive in all his starts and should be again this afternoon.
3rd pick: #2 (Fortunate Run ) - He raced evenly last out at this level in his first vs. winners. Has a nice work on Jan. 17, presumably with the blinkers on that he'll wear for the first time today.
