Top pick: #4 (TIZ ALL THAT) (5-2) - Speedy gelding enters off a career best at Los Alamitos Dec. 14. Going 6-furlongs for a $40K tag, he set a quick and pressured pace and held to finish second to a much the best winner. The top pick, but make sure you reverse your exactas.
2nd pick: #6 (North Lake Tahoe) (7-2) - He showed early speedy facing a bit tougher in his debut. Colt had some traffic issues turning for home or he may have finished better than fourth. Barn adds blinkers and drops him just a bit. Strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Top Estate) (6-1) - Home bred ran evenly here when debuting at this level Dec. 26. He took some betting action that day and can factor at a square price with normal 2nd out improvement.
4th pick: #9 (Momma Tried) (4-1) - Freshened up since early October, he was competitive in both starts at that time. Each was at this level on real dirt and gelding has been working very fast at Los Alamitos for his return.
