Top pick: #7 (ANGEL OF GOLD) (5-2) - Calif. bred gelding has finished fourth in four straight starts. Speed/stalker draws a nice outside post at this distance and has Daniel Vergara aboard for the first time. Looks set for his maiden win.
2nd pick: #6 (Dust in Zahn) (9-2) - He's been freshened up since Jan. 10. Lightly-raced gelding enters off a pair of even efforts at this level and has a sharp 3-furlong breeze on Feb. 10 heading into this.
3rd pick: #3 (Decantered) (5-2) - Gelding is cutting back in distance off a trio of starts going around two-turns. Calif. bred meets a weak field and trainer Angel Silva has been doing well the past 6-weeks. The probable favorite and a win candidate.
4th pick: #2 (Boomwhacker) (12-1) - Long time maiden has raced evenly in four straight starts here after running second on Dec. 15. Stretch runner can grab a share at long odds.
