Top pick: #6 (SIR ALLISON) - One of a pair entered in this contest by trainer Bob Baffert and the two will race as separate interests. This home-bred by "Roman Ruler" has been freshened-up since Nov. 19 when he tired after setting a pressured pace at Hollywood Park running for $62.5K. His best effort came on this surface when he ran second facing special weights Oct. 14. Working fast for his return and he's back on real dirt this afternoon.
2nd pick: #8 (Spacecoast) - She took some money when debuting here facing special weights Oct. 23 and weakened after racing wide while attending a fast pace. Working fast for her return, and trainer Mike Machowsky will drop her into a hig-priced claimer and race her against males today.
3rd pick: #3 (Visible Marq) - The second of the Baffert pair raced evenly while wide when debuting at Hollywood facing special weights on Dec. 17. Son of "Invisible Ink" had trained well for that outing and is brought back quickly, drops into a claimer, and switches to real dirt.
