Top pick: #7 (COURTSIDE) - Lightly raced, talented, and is working very fast on this surface since going wire-to-wire here in late October to win the California Cup Sprint. He's the speed of the speed and gets a slight edge in a race where the eight runners combined have won over $4M.
2nd pick: #8 (Euroears) - He always seems to get into trouble, but draws a nice outside post for his speed/stalking style and this G1 winner is working fast at Hollywood for this. He was an easy winner of this stakes a year ago and has a big shot at repeating.
3rd pick: #5 (Frumious) - In career best shape at present, he ran a triple digit "figure" when defeating weaker here on Dec. 31 and has a blazing work since. Don't sell too short.
