Top pick: #3 (SNAKE PLISSKIN) (3-1) - He enters off a solid second place finish here at this tag & trip on Dec. 20th. It was his second back off almost a 7-month layoff, and any additional improvement will win this.
2nd pick: #2 (Guyana Express) (4-1) - Clearly the main speed, he's finished second here at this level in three of his last four starts, all going around two-turns. Grey gelding is breaking just off the inside and is a threat on the front end.
3rd pick: #4 (Lexi's Hero) (9-5) - He's stretching out in distance and dropping in class. Gelding is racing third back from a 10 1/2 month layoff and is a threat at a short price.
4th pick: #6 (Conflicted Interest) (6-1) - Well bred colt has been freshened up since late Nov. when he raced evenly at Laurel. Gelding has run well here in the past (4-0-1-2) and can't be totally eliminated.
