Top pick: #2 (Street Status) (5-2) - Lightly-raced 3-year-old was away slowly and rallied to finish fourth here when facing special weights on Nov. 10. Race was his first since Feb. 9 and trainer Marty Jones drops him into a claimer for the first time. Bejarano stays put and colt is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Intoclassymischief) (9-2) - Another taking the same drop as "Status" and this grey gelding has some early speed. Working fast for this and a win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Ice Cream Truck) (7-2) - He comes off a career best when he rallied strongly to miss by a 1/2 length here at this tag and trip on Nov. 9. Working well since, he draws the rail and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #12 (Cuneo) (8-1) - Longshot has been freshened up since late Oct., he drops, goes dirt to "poly," and has his blinkers removed. Price play.
