Premium Pick

Top pick: #11 (BLUE CHEROKEE) (7-2) - Speedy sort goes from "poly" to dirt and has his priced halved by trainer Doug O'Neill. Colt hasn't raced since June 7, but is working well and can take this if ready.

2nd pick: #10 (Apache Ambush) (4-1) - He takes the same drop as "Cherokee," but has a recency edge and has raced before locally. Speed/stalker is a strong win candidate on the drop in class.

3rd pick: #12 (Atascaderan) (6-1) - Heavily bet when debuting here facing tougher on Jan. 10th, he was away slowly and tired after rushing up into a fast pace. Drops and veteran Art Sherman will add blinkers for this attempt.

4th pick: #1 (Old Pubelo) (3-1) - He missed by a 1/2 length racing here at this tag on Jan. 11th, and was claimed that day by trainer Melody Conlon. Has the rail and speed/stalker is a threat if he repeats his latest off the barn switch.
