Top pick: #9 (OH MIGHTY DOLLAR) - Well-bred gelding cost $450K and will drop into a claimer for the first time today. Lightly-raced gelding is working fast locally for his first start since May 2 and he resides in a very good barn (Erig Guillot). The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Secret Jackpot) - He has good early speed and will be cutting-back in distance after tiring in a two-turn race at Hollywood last out. He ran well at Fairplex on the dirt in the fall and is a threat this afternoon.
3rd pick: #2 (Wild Hombre) - Lightly raced gelding has been freshened-up by trainer Doug O'Neill for the past 7 weeks and has a fast work on the new surface here DEc.24th. Contender.
4th pick: #1 (Warren's Concept) - Has the rail and the best early speed. He'll need to be sent hard and try and hold on. Pat Valenzuela, who was aboard two back in this gelding's best start ever, is back aloft.
