Top pick: #8 (JACOBS KISS) - He's been razor sharp in all his starts here this winter (3-2-1-0)and his overall recor on this surface stands at (11-4-3-1). Last out he finished 2nd to a runner who would win this and it came facing better. Drops, has a recent bullet work, draws a nice outside post, and is one for one at this trip.
2nd pick: #7 (Gold Strike Begins) - Speedy sort has won three in a row at this meet and is 4 for 6 overall at Tampa on the dirt. Has back class, loves this distance (7-4-1-1) and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Lonestorm Storm) - He has some back class and runs first off a claim by Barb McBride (22%). He tired last out, but in his previous race was much sharper. Can impact at a square price.
4th pick: #6 (Captain Chris) - Deep closer was no match for "Gold Strike Begins" last out, but he had a very wide trip. He won here at this distance on Jan 4th and can grab a share with a late rally.
