Top pick: #3 (KAZ FLEET) (3-1) - Lightly raced gelding by "Afleet Alex" has finished 2nd in his last pair and is clearly improving. With only 4 starts he has more room for upside than the other two picks and he draws just to the outside of that pair. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Redhotlotion) (8-5) - The probable favorite, he's gone (3-0-1-2) since being claimed in late Nov by the high percentage barn of "Lupe" Guerrero. Speed/stalker should be involved every step and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Quanah Gold) (2-1) - The 3rd contender in this "Poor" field, he did not care at all for the sloppy track he ran on last out and will be cutting back in distance for this attempt. He'd been improving prior to that effort and is in the small win mix.
