Top pick: #6 (GUIDING HAND) - Veteran finished second here at this price and distance Dec. 18 and has been freshened-up for the past seven weeks by the high-percentege barn of Mike Chambers. Fourteen-time winner has slopped a bit, but last summer was still good enough to finish second in a $25K stakes at Assiniboia Downs. Working fast and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Twofisted) - Tries his best each time and last out he came up a nose short to today's rival No. 5 "Unbridled Fury". Rounding back into form following a four month break and looks set for his best.
