Top pick: #1 (GENTLEMAN JOHN) - He just failed to last here at this tag on Dec. 11 in his first start back off a 7 week break. Speedy three-year-old draws the rail and he'll be tough to beat on the front-end.
2nd pick: #6 (Robyn's Afair) - Lightly raced gelding has some talent and raced evenly last out in the same contest as the top pick. In a good barn and he has a shot at a nice price.
3rd pick: #2 (Cornetto) - In a good barn (Bernell Rhone) and this colt is working fast on the local surface for his first start since Oct. 16. Capable at a nice price if he brings his best.
