Top pick: #4 (CORNER OFFICE) - The probable favorite has run well in both sprints and last out finished second of 12 to a "much the best" winner racing on the Hollywood "poly". Trainer John Sadler has him working fast since and he'll stretch him out around two-turns and run him on real dirt for the first time. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (The Black) - Price play moves back to the dirt and down in class after finishing last in the one mile Eddie Logan S. here on Dec. 31. Colt ran a big race on the dirt here Oct. 21 and a repeat of that effort makes him a threat.
3rd pick: #7 (Dylan Donnelly) - He had some traffic issues when debuting at Hollywood in Dec. and was 8 back of "Corner" at the finish. Trainer Mike Mitchell switches him to the dirt and stretches him out in distance today. Mitchell has won with six of his last 11 maidens making their second start.
