Top pick: #4 (BROJAC) (4-1) - Very lightly-raced gelding by "Bertrando" tired slightly after being involved in a heated speed-duel through fast fractions in his local debut on Feb. 7. It was his first for leading trainer Bob Diodoro and he brings him back in four days and add blinkers.
2nd pick: #10 (Checkerplate) (8-1) - Price play was only beaten 1 1/2 lengths here at this level Jan. 15 and today trainer Bob Hazel has leading rider Jorge Carreno back aboard after a one race absence. Can impact at long odds.
3rd pick: #3 (Hiya Hiya) (2-1) - Speedy sort drops down after a solid front end effort on Jan. 28 facing much tougher. In shape, fits, and colt should be involved every step.
4th pick: #5 (Global Court) (10-1) - Gelding ships back from Los Alamitos where he was an easy maiden winner on Jan. 26. By far a career best and 5-year-old is conservatively spotted in his first facing winners.
