Top pick: #6 (RUNFORTHEROSESDAN) - He finished a pace-pressing fourth in his debut at Hollywood Park racing for $40K, then raced evenly in a longer turf contest last out vs. state-bred maidne specials. Drops and moves back to "poly". Looks set to offer whatever he has. The top choice.
2nd pick: #4 (Afleet Magic) - Probable favorite finished a rallying second at this tag and going 6.5 furlongs on Nov. 28. Race was his first since mid-April and he'e had five weeks of rest since to avoid a possible "bounce." Gets and extra 1/2 furlong to work with today and he's a strong win threat.
3rd pick: #3 (Oh Now) - Drops into a claimer, goes turf to "poly", shortens-up in distance, and gets the addition of both lasix and blinkers from Patrick Biancone. Don't sell too short.
