Top pick: #7 (CAPTURE THE CALL) - Speedy, lightly raced, and well-bred, he has excellent early speed and one of his best races ever came in a win at the Pleasanton Fair 16 months ago in his only race ever on real dirt. Drops and runs second back off a layoff. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Streets of Heaven) - The probable favorite won this fall at Fairplex in his only race ever on conventional dirt. In-shape and he has fine positional speed. Win threat.
3rd pick: #4 (Victorian Prince) - He ran second at Fairplex this past fall on the dirt and comes into this contest in-shape and sharp. Stretch threat.
