Top pick: #7 (ROARING RICK) - Price play had a bit of a "troubled" trip in his first local appearance after shipping north from Santa Anita. Runs today off a trainer switch to Val Rhoden, has a pair of good breezes for this, and stalker draws outside of the speed. The top pick.
2nd pick: #2 (My Charming Glance) - The probable favorite has good early speed and has finished close-up in three straight at this price. He'll be in this from start to finish and would be no surprise.
3rd pick: #1 (Noble Cavalier) - Four-year-old gelding has been somewhat competitive in all his starts at this $8K price. He'll be sprinting today for the first time since late Nov. Has the rail, faces a very weak field, and must be left in the mix.
