Top pick: #2 (REPENT AND REJOICE) - Lightly raced and speedy gelding is working very fast on the local surface for his first start since Oct. 20. He finished third that day at Hawthorne at this level and distance and that was his first start back off an eight month layoff. He broke his maiden here last winter and will be tough to beat on the front-end.
2nd pick: #3 (Webster) - Broke his maiden here a month ago and he looked good doing it. Win came off a three month layoff, with a drop in price, and a switch from turf to dirt. Excellent barn has given him a month of rest and has him well spotted in his first facing winners.
3rd pick: #1 (Platinum Ace) - Has some speed, draws the rail, and runs third off a two month break. Improved effort is noted last out and he could grab a share at a nice price.
