Top pick: #2 (CHARBROILED) (5-2) - Gelding chased and tired in a well-bet debut facing tougher going "down the hill" here on the grass Jan. 31st. 4yo takes a big drop in class, moves to the main-track, and is working fast.
2nd pick: #9 (Dehere is Gone) (9-5) - The probable favorite, he's shown good early speed in both starts and held gamely to finish a close up fourth last out going seven-furlongs here at this tag. Barn (Bill Spawr) cuts him back in distance, and believe he faced a much tougher field in his latest. Strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Remind Mee) (5-1) - Lightly raced colt hasn't seen action since late March of 2013, and he flashed fine early speed facing tougher on the Golden Gate "poly" that afternoon. Working fast for his return, and trainer Bob Diodoro will drop him into a claimer for the first time.
4th pick: #7 (Stealth Fighter) (15-1) - Longshot hasn't shown much in either start, but has a pair of sharp works heading into this and may do some damage at a projected big price.
