Top pick: #5 (SQUARE DEAL) - Veteran gelding was an easy winner last out racing for $16K in his first off a Doug O'Neill claim. One time stakes performer has back class, a speed/stalking style, and a repeat of his latest "figure" takes another.
2nd pick: #6 (Clue Me In) - Freshened-up since Dec. 17, he's working fast locally for trainer Julio Canani and 6-year-old has a fine record on this surface (6-1-3-0). Re-claimed by canani last Nov. and this stalker draws a nice post for this 6.5 furlong distance.
