Top pick: #4 (ROCK SOLID KING) - Lightly raced, well-bred, in a winning barn (Bob Diodoro), and gelding by "Rock Hard Ten" is working fast at Turf Paradise for his first race in three months and first ever on real dirt. The presence of Pat Valenzuela signals that they like his chances.
2nd pick: #5 (Mr. Saturdaynight) - Consistent sort was away "slowly" last out and raced a bit "rank" before checking-in fourth. Fits and appears to be racing into shape following a long layoff.
