Top pick: #1 (SARATOGA BOOT) (4-1) - In a great barn, this gelding goes turf to dirt, has positional speed, and a fine ground saving post. Like his chances.
2nd pick: #6 (Touch the Sun) (8-1) - He enters this off a career best performance when winnin a money-conditioned-allowance here on Dec. 1. That was his first local appearance and he's very dangerous with a repeat of it.
3rd pick: #2 (Jamaican Memories) (5-1) - The main speed, he comes off a sharp win here in a sprint stakes on Nov. 24. Draws well and he's dangerous on the front end at a nice price.
