Top pick: #7 (MASTER'S CIRCLE) (8-5) - The probable favorite, speedy gelding has been facing much tougher and took betting action in each. On the sidelines since late October, he's working sharply at Los Alamitos and can take this if ready.
2nd pick: #6 (Cowtown Mary) (5-2) - Another with early speed, 4-year-old hasn't raced for just over 13-months. Bet in four of his five starts, he's a win candidate if ready off the long break.
3rd pick: #9 (Hallucinator) (8-1) - Long shot had some serious traffic issues last while he was in range to do some damage. Blinkers go on and he can factor today at a big price.
4th pick: #8 (Wicker Man) (6-1) - Debuting 5-year-old has been in steady training since mid-March. In a capable first-out barn (John Sadler 18%) and a threat if ready.
