Top pick: #7 (SPEEDY TORNADO) - The probable favorite, he was an impressive maiden winner here in his local debut Feb. 21st. Gelding had been competitive at Santa Anita prior to that and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Fit for Duty) - Lightly raced gelding was a sharp maiden winner here on Jan. 7th, but disappointed Feb. 16th in his first facing winners. Speed/stalker is a threat with his 'A' game.
3rd pick: #1 (Vengeful Song) - He has the rail and some finishing kick. Unraced since Dec. 2nd, he's working well and could grab a minor award at a square price.
4th pick: #8 (Late Rally) - Has a bit of speed, but he'd need a career best for anything more than a small slice of this.
