Top pick: #7 (REGAL RON) (5-2) - "Ron" is lightly raced and will be stretching out in distance for this attempt. Colt by "Lawyer Ron" finished 2nd to a very heavy favorite at this level going 6 furlongs on Jan 7 in his first start since Oct 23. One run type is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Tenth Wave) (8-1) - Longshot races first off a Scott Lake claim and the veteran trainer has been on a good roll of late. Gelding comes off a solid effort facing weaker on Jan 13 and can factor at a big price.
3rd pick: #2 (Lookingforlangfuhr) (4-1) - Claimed out of his maiden win on Dec 18 by Ramon Preciado for $15K, colt raced wide and evenly here just 6 days ago facing tougher in his first for the new barn. They bring him back quickly, drop him in class, and he draws the rail.
4th pick: #4 (Cold Precision) (9-2) - No speed type has been at this condition for 7 starts and has been competitive in most of those appearances. He would benefit the most by a fast/and or contested pace.
