Top pick: #1 (HE'S A BLING) (5-2) - Very fast from the gate, grey gelding is stretching out in distance for his first since Oct. 11th. He's finished second in three of five sprints and his best "figure" was earned here Aug. 16th. 3yo has the rail and can take this group from start-to-finish.
2nd pick: #3 (Yes Yes Yes) (7-2) - Veteran maiden moves back to a synthetic surface after nine straight turf attempts. Stalker fits on "figures," and its nice to see Mike Smith keep the faith.
3rd pick: #4 (Spring Action) (3-1) - Lightly raced gelding is racing first off a Bill Spawr claim and a subsequent 7-week freshening. Working fast and a major factor despite moving up in class.
4th pick: #6 (Prospector Alley) (6-1) - Gelding by "Flower Alley" raced evenly at this tag Oct. 13th at Santa Anita. 3yo has taken money in seven straight starts and has been working nicely for this appearance.
