Top pick: #3 (MEMPHIS) (3-1) - Consistent veteran is stretching out to a mile off a series of four straight solid efforts going 6 or 7-furlongs. He has a flexible style and in this field I expect him to be on or just off the early lead. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Accelerant) (6-1) - He's going turf to dirt in his second back off a 7-week freshening. He finished a close up third last out at Turf Paradise and had won his previous start on the Los Alamitos dirt.
3rd pick: #2 (Dynamo Dixie) (4-1) - He was a winner her last out for a $16K tag on Jan. 9. Race was his first in almost two months and was his first win on conventional dirt. Speed/stalker should be involved from gate-to-wire.
