Top pick: #10 (SAY OW) (7-2) - Gelding may have won here on Nov. 10 if not for some serious traffic issues during the stretch run. He had all sorts of problems awaiting room and finished fourth of 12, beaten just over three lengths. Working fine since, and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #9 (Will True Up) (9-2) - Nice debut saw him rally along the inside to finish third, then last out he "stumbled" at the break and unseated his jockey. Son of "Lawyer Ron" is a win candidate today.
3rd pick: #5 (Grand Giant) (5-1) - Colt finished second two back at Santa Anita going "down the hill," then tired after rushing-up to set the pace after a poor start going longer in his latest. Cuts back in distance and Bejarano stays aboard.
