Top pick: #2 (CLICK HERE) (7-2) - Speed/stalker has gone 4-0-1-3 since being claimed by Dan Morgan in late Nov., and he retains the services of leading rider Carreno for this attempt. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Nicholas M) (5-1) - Golden Gate shipper has early speed, is racing second back off almost a two month break, and has a new trainer (Angel Silva). Lightly raced, he has a nice local work on Feb. 6th, and should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #7 (Rib Eye) (10-1) - Long time maiden tired badly last out facing tougher and going longer on the grass Jan. 27th. He'd been competitive in five straight dirt sprints here prior to that, and should be again today.
4th pick: #8 (Unintended Results) (12-1) - Debuting gelding is from a capable barn (Eric Kruljac), and has five published local works since Jan. 4th. 4yo need not be much to factor against this poor group.
