Top pick: #1 (D'WILDBUNCH) - Improving gelding tries winners for the first time following a maiden win here on Jan. 1 racing for $30K. Working very fast for this, strong finisher catches a field with a lot of speed types signed on and that should set up his stretch charge.
2nd pick: #4 (Jack O Lyn) - He raced wide facing tougher last out and eventually finished last in a small field (5). Race was his first off a Jeff Mullins claim and first off a 7 week freshening. Drops way down for this and he should run much better.
3rd pick: #5 (Ithoughtipaidyou) - Speedy gelding finished a pace-setting second here at this trip racing for a $20K tag Jan. 14. He's worked at Los Alamitos on the Jan. 31 and should be involved from the start.
