Top pick: #9 (SINDY'S LUCK) (3-1) - Well backed when debuting Oct. 18 at Santa Anita he was involved every step and was third of 11, beaten a length. freshened up since he had a very fast 5-furlong work on Dec. 6 that indicates he's ready to roll.
2nd pick: #10 (Justonemorething) (5-2) - He's been competitive in both starts and last out at Del Mar he missed by less than a length racing for a $30K tag. Trainer Eric Kruljac moves him up a bit and moves him from "poly" to dirt.
3rd pick: #3 (Lovely Summer) (6-1) - Harris home bred tired badly facing tougher when debuting on Nov. 16 at Del Mar. Gelding took betting action that afternoon and has been working fast locally for his second attempt. Barn drops him in class and he must be left in the win mix.
4th pick: #1 (North Lake Tahoe) (3-1) - One of four making their debuts, he breaks from the rail and has been training above average here since mid-September. Can factor with an alert beginning.
