Top pick: #4 (TIZ THE TRUTH) (6-5) - One of two entered by the Baffert barn and this colt is the probable favorite. Home-bred son of "Tiznow" missed by a head here in a strong effort going 7 furlongs on Jan. 13. Race was a big improvement over his debut and was his first on real dirt. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Spirited Touch) (7-2) - The second of the Baffert pair, he chased and tired when debuting here in a 5.5 furlong sprint on Jan. 5. He's worked fast since and will be stretching out in distance for this attempt. Can factor at a square price.
3rd pick: #3 (Colburn) (4-1) - He improved in his second start when finishing fourth here at this level and distance on Jan. 18. Race was his first back off a three month layoff and trainer Doug O'Neill has him making back-to-back starts for the first time.
