Top pick: #6 (ROCK SO HARD) - Colt showed good speed when debuting at Del Mar last July and he held well to finish 2nd that day. Working very fast and frequently for his return trainer Bob Baffert moves him to the turf today and it's a surface he was bred to handle. The top pick.
2nd pick: #5 (Extra Fifty) - He raced evenly at Del Mar in his debut going a mile and did so despite a "slow" start and having some traffic woes. Son of "Afleet Alex" is training nicely for the Avila barn and runner attracts Gomez today.
3rd pick: #9 (Husband's Folly) - He finished a strong 3rd at this distance in late Nov. on the main-track at Hollywood and he'll move to the grass this afternoon off almost a 3 month break. The trainer (Mike Puype) and jockey(Raf Bejarano) win at a 24% rate when teamed-up.
4th pick: #10 (Robbie's War) - Price play is improving and will cut-back a bit in distance after finishing 4th last out going a mile. Gelding by "War Chant" looks set for a solid try.
