Top pick: #10 (RADER THE RAT) (5-2) - Colt showed fine early speed her facing tougher special weights on Dec 26 and trainer Eric Guillot will drop him into a claimer for the first time. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Got Heem) (4-1) - He has some talent and last out here raced evenly at this level. Trainer Mike Mitchell has worked him twice since and takes his blinkers off after a one race experiment.
3rd pick: #4 (Silk Indian) (9-2) - Another that's dropping into a claimer and this gelding will have blinkers added. Working fast and must be left in the mix.
