Top pick: #8 (FINDING PARADISE) (5-2) - Veteran raced both wide and evenly after breaking from the 12 post racing here on Dec. 17 in what was his local debut. Sold privately after that contest owner/trainer Darrell Alvey and this 6-year-old is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (It Doesn't Add Up) (7-2) - Speedy sort is from a winning barn (Angel Silva) and last out tired after setting a quick and contested pace. There's not much pace signed on today and that makes him a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Training Zone Jon) (5-2) - He'll drop back down, go turf to dirt, and shortens up in distance. Steady performer fits with his best and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #1 (Quarta Coroa) (8-1) - Brazilian-bred has some speed , draws the rail, and may grab a share at a big price with one of his better efforts.
