Top pick: #4 (MICKEY ROCKS) - Big effort last out saw this veteran gelding miss by a 1/2 length at this level and trip in his best overall since March of 2011. Good barn brings him back in 16 days and he looks set for another solid try.
2nd pick: #8 (Flaming Glory) - Stretch-out sprinter was an easy winner at this tag going 6.5 furlongs on Dec. 18 and last out he finished fourth of nine at the same price. Draws a nice outside post to stalk from and he's a win threat in this spot.
3rd pick: #6 (Tug o' War) - He's won an incredible 22 times and is 8-for-9 on this surface and 11-for-30 at this distance. Speed/stalker should be involved again from gate to wire.
