Top pick: #4 (HAVA CIGAR) - He rallied from far back to finish second here at this price going 7 furlongs on New Year's Day. Race was his best to date and came in his second off a Doug O'Neill claim. Has a flexible style and gets the call in this afternoon's finale.
2nd pick: #5 (Mr. Padre) - Excellent effort last out saw him break running from an outside post and stay on all the way while coming up a head short. He's worked since, and that last race was his first ever around two-turns.
3rd pick: #9 (Go to the Pulpit) - Stretches-out for the dangerous Puype barn and he'll be dropping slightly in price and trying a two-turn trip for the first time. Win candidate at a nice price.
4th pick: #3 (Cheezy Breezy) - He's finished fourth in both outings and last out was a rallying fourth, only 2 back of "Padre". Blinkers go on and he makes back-to-back starts for the first time.
