Top pick: #3 (LOTSA MISCHIEF) (5-1) - Colt has been freshened up since an impressive win here in an allowance race going five-furlongs Oct. 20th. Working fast for his return, and he's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Rockin Home) (2-1) - The probable favorite, Arizona-bred has won two in a row entering this, including a very sharp score on Nov. 23rd in the $54K "Arizona Breeder's Futurity." Obvious contender.
3rd pick: #7 (Hit the Bottle) (5-1) - He's one of the few entered who doesn't need the lead to win. Gelding draws a nice outside post, and should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into.
4th pick: #2 (Leo's Lookin) (9-2) - Speed/stalker was an easy winner here Nov. 13th in his first back off a 70-day freshening. Canadian-bred has worked twice since, and must be left in the mix.
