Top pick: #8 (GANGNAM GUY) (3-1) - He's racing third back off a 100-day layoff and is dropping a bit in class while stretching out in distance. Stakes placed earlier in his career and sped/stalker was competitive in his first pair off the break. Working well and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Badasmywifeletsmeb) (4-1) - Speedy sort is taking a drop and draws a much better post than he had in his last pair. Fits, is in shape, and he's be involved every step. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Ransom Canyon) (6-1) - Strong finisher has been idle since Nov 1. Working nicely at Los Alamitos for his return, he would love a fast/and or contested pace to develop. Stretch threat.
4th pick: #7 (Smart Journey) (5-1) - Very lightly raced 6-year-old has the best early speed of the group and is dropping down and stretching out. Fits with his best and can be in this from gate-to-wire if that's the case.
