(# 2) MARKMEGOOD - Drops seeking that elusive first victory. Comes in here fresh, has plenty of speed, and his AM work all point toward a top try.

(# 4) Sanders - Another coming back off a freshening. Raced well here last winter, and is also working fine for this comeback attempt.

(# 1) Dutch - Plugged along after breaking slowly to finish second in Emerald Downs debut. This is start #2 and he needs to break cleanly to have any shot. Don't think he can threaten for the win.

(# 8) Brat Cat - Has raced in Northern Californaia and on thr Cal. Fair circuit. Has enough speed to stay within range, but needs to find more late kick.
