Top pick: #8 (SARBONNE) - 5-year-old hasn't raced since Nov. 18 when he ran evenly at Hollywood Park facing special weights going 6 furlongs on the turf.
2nd pick: #3 (Warren's Rail Bird) - He missed by a neck in early September facing a bit tougher at Fairplex at this distance, and is working well locally for his return. Home-bred gets Bejarano aboard for the first time and he's a big threat to win this.
3rd pick: #1 (Del Mar Johnny) - Stalker has the rail and his best races have come on conventional dirt. Drops back down and goes turf to dirt for the barn of Steve Knapp. Two back he finished second here at this price and is in the win mix.
