Top pick: #7 (SATURDAY'S CHARM) - Nice effort when debuting at Churchill on Nov. 11 saw his track after breaking from the 11 post, stay within range, and tire during the stretch run to finish third. The Steve Asmussen barn is always better second time out and they'll stretch this $240,000 son of "Any Given Saturday" out to a mile today. The top pick.
2nd pick: #2 (Castaway) - $435K son of "Street Sense" has good early speed and is working fast for his first start since Nov. 5. The works are local, quick, and trainer Bob Baffert's main-rider (Marty Garcia) is aboard for the first time. Price play.
3rd pick: #1 (Candy's Jewel) - He showed considerable improvement when trainer Jerry Hollendorfer sent his around two turns last out. Colt by "Candy Ride" rallied into a slow pace to finish second that afternoon at Hollywood. Working fast for this and a win candidate.
