Top pick: #5 (MOSES ON THE MESA) (2-1) - Veteran has gone 3-0-2-1 in recent starts since he was dropped down to race at this $3,500 claiming price. He had a tough trip while between horses last out but still held gamely to finish second. He has back class, meets a weak field, and is the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #3 (Time For a J) (7-2) - He has more early speed than most entered. Lightly-raced gelding moves off the rail following an even effort here in the same Jan 14 race as "Moses." Competitive sort should be involved from start-to-finish.

3rd pick: #1 (Add Some Alcohol) (9-2) - No-speed type rallied from far back to win here at this tag and trip Jan. 5. He officially cleared the 2l condition that afternoon after winning and being disqualified at Emerald Downs in late Sept. The faster the pace, the better his chances.
