Top pick: #4 (SPEIGHT ME) (3-1) - Colt cost a whopping $200,000 and to this point has been a huge disappointment. On the sidelines for the past two months, the high-percentage barn of "Lupe" Guerrero has him working very fast for this, including a bullet half-mile breeze just three days ago.
2nd pick: #6 (Quannah Gold) (3-1) - Gelding has gone (3-0-1-2) since being claimed by Ramon Preciado and last out rallied while racing wide to finish third. Well-bred 4-year-old draws a better post today and is a win candidate down the lane.
3rd pick: #7 (Power Shall Tell) (4-1) - Tries hard every time and has gone (4-0-1-3) since late Nov. He has enough speed to stay withing range before launching a rally.
5th pick: #9 (Win Tiger Win) (4-1) - He tired after "stumbling" at the start at Penn National on Dec. 13 in what was his first race in five months. He only has one published work since, but has fine early speed and must be left in the mix.
