Top pick: #6 (GOLDENSTATEWARRIOR) - Lightly raced gelding drops back into a claimer this afternoon after a pair of even efforts facing tougher. Four-year-old finished second at this price and distance Dec. 30, and his connections will add blinkers for this attempt. Has by far the best form and he's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Moody Majesty) - No speed type rallied to finish second here at this price and distance 13 days ago in the best effort of his six race career. Has the rail, gets a rider upgrade to Eddie Castro, and colt would benefit the most if there was a fast pace.
3rd pick: #4 (Smarteralex) - Continues to run evenly at this price and his connections will send this 57 time loser around two turns today and this 6-year-old has enough talent to finish in the same race exotics at a big price.
