Top pick: #1 (DEEP PLAY) (3-1) - Gelding is dropping in class and breaking from the rail. He has early speed and trainer Pete Miller has one of the top front-end jockeys in the business (Marty Pedroza) aboard. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Broadway Nika) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, he's won two of his last three. His latest came here facing a bit weaker on Jan. 8th. Veteran defeated 'Deep Play" Nov. 22nd at Del Mar when he was allowed to set a slow pace. Dangerous in his present form.
3rd pick: #3 (Timeless Indy) (8-1) - Longshot has plenty of back class and raced evenly here for a $16K tag on Jan. 9th. It was an encouraging effort and his connections bring him back quickly, drop him to a new low, and they add blinkers.
4th pick: #6 (Street Serenade) (7-2) - He has early speed when in the mood. Veteran is dropping to a new low and had a good half-mile breeze on Jan. 20th.
