Top pick: #4 (NIGHT TIDE) - Colt by "Malibu Moon" was stakes place last year as a 2yo and following a 5th place finish in the (G2) Best Pal Stakes on August 4th at Del Mar he did not run again until April 22nd. Racing in an allowance-optional $80K claimer, he finished an even 3rd of 5 in a pretty tough field. Working "bullets" since, trainer Bob Baffert drops him down and 3yo will be very tough to defeat in this spot.
2nd pick: #5 (Yes It's Snowing) - Since debuting at Emerald Downs in early August, son of "Yes It's True" has gone (4-2-1-1) and went back to back last fall here and at Santa Anita. Working fast for his return and colt looks next best if 100%.
