Top pick: #1 (KITCHEN POLICE) (2-1) - He's been sharp in all three starts and ran second here Dec. 20 facing tougher in his first facing winners. Ken and Sarah Ramsey home-bred is working fast for this and speed/stalker breaks from the rail.
2nd pick: #7 (Three Quarter Roy) (9-5) - Speedy gelding drops in class after chasing and tiring in a small spint stakes at Tampa Bay Downs on Jan. 4. He defeated a talented runner from the barn of Todd Pletcher in his previous start and is a strong factor in what appears to be a two-horse race on paper.
3rd pick: #5 (Sweepin Romance) (4-1) - Colt cuts back in distance after finishing second here facing weaker going a mile on Jan. 10. Improving and he can grab a share, especially if the pace is fast and/or contested.
