Top pick: #6 (HIGH RED STAR) (3-1) - He ships from Tampa Bay where he finished a distant 3rd after slamming into the gate at the break. He drops down to a new low in price, stretches out in distance, and meets a weak field.
2nd pick: #2 (It's All Here) (4-1) - He rallied while very wide to finish 3rd here Dec 9th racing at this level going 5.5 furlongs. Race was his first ever on real dirt and trainer Nick Gonzalez brings him back quickly and has him race around two-turns for the first time.
3rd pick: #7 (Lunar Event) (2-1) - The probable favorite, trainer Mike Matz drops this $280,000 son of "Awesome again" into a claimer and adds blinkers. Working well at Palm Meadows for his first start since Oct 14 and a win candidate, though at a short price.
