Top pick: #1 (DANZING TRIBAL) - One of a pair entered here by trainer Bob Diodoro and they give him a strong hand in this contest. Gelding is (4-3-1-0) since switching over to this barn and last out went wire-to-wire here to win a small sprint stakes. Has the rail and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Point Attended) - The second of the Diodoro pair has plenty of back class and moves up in price after winning for $16K here on Dec. 10. Loves this surface(9-6-1-2) and has won stakes here in the past. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Wowie Maui) - Very fast early on, gelding doesn't have a rating gear and will face other pace. He's the speed of the speed and is capable if he clears early without a struggle.
