Top pick: #3 (LONE JUSTICE) - Gelding is working very fast for his first start since Nov. 11 and he's proven in the past that he can compete at this level. Bejarano takes the re-ride and this three-year-old is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Marcy's Woods) - Very lightly raced four-year-old is very fast and broke his maiden on real dirt at the Sacramento Fair last July. Working fast and a serious win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Big Bad Boo) - Has the rail (which has been good here so far) and son of "Unusual Heat" ran well at Fairplex on the dirt in the fall. Can factor at a nice price as he moves up in class.
