Top pick: #4 (COLTON'S FIRST) (7-2) - Gelding has finished second in three of five local starts, the latest coming on Jan. 21 for an $8K tag. That was her first off a Dale Greenwood claim and Scott Stevens stays aboard.
2nd pick: #3 (Awesome T) (3-1) - Santa Anita shipper takes a big drop in class and runs off a trainer change to Cindy Cummins. Cal.-bred has been racing evenly there facing tougher and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Maggie's Guy) (6-1) - Another shipping from Golden Gate and he runs off a trainer change to Angel Silva. He has a bit of speed and can factor with his best.
4th pick: #1 (Gooddecision) (4-1) - Lightly-raced 3-year-old has been competitive in both starts and races off a negative barn change following a claim. Has the rail, lasix added, and is a threat with an alert getaway.
