Top pick: #5 (FOREST SOUVENIR) - Lightly-raced and very speedy gelding set a fast pace and held gamely to finish second here facing much tougher Feb. 23 in his second back off almost a four-month layoff. Trainer Jeff Mullins(who's had a great meet) drops him down in price and cuts him back to 5.5 furlongs. He meets a weak field and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Wise Guise) - One of two runners returning from long absences, this gelding by "Kafwain" hasn't raced since breaking his maiden in late June at Hollywood Park. Working well for his comebacker, and a big threat if ready. This will be his first on real dirt.
