Top pick: #5 (SEVEN MILE BRIDGE) - Continues to run solidly every time out, finishing second in all four of his starts. Probably was best in his most recent after breaking from the extreme outside (11). Now with trainer Louie Roussel, he's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Lee City Slew) - Has good speed and goes third off a layoff. Improved run noted last out when blinkers were added. Rail draw for his style is a plus.
3rd pick: #2 (Personal Velocity) - Likes to drop back and make a late run. Inside post is a bit tricky for his type and he must avoid be shuffled too far back. He finished second with a furious rally on Dec. 26. Dangerous in the last 1/8th.
