Top pick: #1 (MEMBER OFTHE TRIBE) - The probable favorite missed by a "head" last out at this tag and trip in his first race in 16 months. Trainer Vlad Cerin brings him back quickly and names "P. Val" today (a big rider upgrade). Has the rail, the best speed, and he's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Clocker moment) - Drops off a series of even efforts facing tougher and he's finished close up in his previous starts for a tag. Major factor in this spot.
3rd pick: #4 (Tsumani Warning) - Gelded son of "Salt Lake" hasn't raced since late Oct. at Hollywood Park but is working nicely for his return and has a bit of speed.
