Top pick: #3 (MY JOHNNY CASH) - Turf Paradise shipper is in one of the best barns there (Mike Chambers) and gelding is a dirt specialist (8-3-1-2). Speed/stalker is much improved since coming back from a 5 month layoff in early Jan. and a switch to the Chamber's barn. The top pick.
2nd pick: #1 (Fire in the Wind) - Drops in his second back off a 70 day break and he was over-matched in that contest. He finished on the Fairplex dirt last fall, has the rail today, and Pat Valenzuela gets aboard for the first time. Speedy gelding is a win candidate.
