Top pick: #7 (TEASING BERNIE) - Gelding by Bernstein will drop into a claimer again, goes turf to dirt, and shortens-up in distance for this. Three-year-old is training well on this surface and is set up for a top effort by his barn.
2nd pick: #8 (Honeycomb) - Training well for his second start, blinkers go on and that should help this gelding run better at a big price.
3rd pick: #5 (Mon Coeur) - Improving and he'll drop down and go turf to dirt after a fourth-place finish at Hollywood facing special weights in a grass sprint.
4th pick: #6 (Solana Soleil) - He has some speed and was competitive here in a pair of starts during the fall meet. Blinkers go on and he can factor this afternoon.
