Top pick: #5 (JUST JUMPED IN) - He showed good speed before tiring when he made his debut at Hollywood park on Oct. 30. Freshened-up since then by trainer Bill Spawr, he's working nicely for his return and Spawr will drop him into a claimer. The presence of Bejarano signals that they like his chances.
2nd pick: #2 (Polished Nickel) - He's been bet in both his starts and has run well in each. The probable heavy favorite races fresh off a Kathy Walsh claim (25%) and she'll add blinkers today. Very tough at a short price.
