Top pick: #6 (TOUGH SUNDAY) (6-5) - The probable favorite, he rallied following a slow start to finish second of nine, beaten a 1/2 length at this level Dec. 18th at Los Alamitos going 6-furlongs. He's brought back quickly, stretches out a furlong, and trainer Steve Miyadi replaces apprentice with Tyler Baze. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #3 (Price of Glory) (5-1) - The main speed of those that have started, he exits the same Dec. 18th contest as "Tough Sunday." He tired after pressing a quick pace and should be involved every step against this group.

3rd pick: #1 (Roper) (8-1) - Longshot is working nicely and moves up in class after being "pulled up" at Del Mar in early Nov. He's been heavily bet in four straight appearances and will probably sneak away at a big price in this spot. Capable of impacting with his best.

4th pick: #2 (Howdy) (6-1) - He's going turf to dirt and shortening up in distance for today's attempt. Home bred has shown some ability and has been working fast locally for his return to conventional dirt.
