Top pick: #3 (WILD REVENGE) - Gelding was claimed in late November at Hollywood Park by Julio Canani for $16K and has five published local works as he goes "poly" to real dirt in this spot. His last win came on a sloppy main-track at Calder in late July and Canani has him nicely spotted this afternoon. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #2 (Orbach) - He was a winner here on this surface at this trip Oct. 16 racing for $20K and last out he made up some ground facing tougher in a "down the hill" contse racing for $35K 16 days ago. Trainer Doug O'Neill brings him back quickly, drops him in price, goes turf to dirt with him, and stretches him back out. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #5 (Tactician) - Longshot tired badly at this price sprinting Dec 30th in his first start since April 22nd. Good barn (Troy Taylor) brings hm back quickly and sends him around two-turns. In a race with no other speed, he has a shot at a very big price.
