Top pick: #1 (GO DUDE) (5-2) - Nicely bred gelding has been freshened up since finishing a solid third here at this level on the grass Dec. 16. That was a career best overall and trainer Angel Silva has bee very hot here of late.
2nd pick: #2 (Holy Frac) (8-5) - The probable favorite, he was a winner here sprinting at this level on Jan. 7, but was disqualified days later due to a medication violation. Freshened up since, he's moving to the grass, racing around two-turns, and making back-to-back starts all for the first time. He's by "More Than Ready," and most all of his sons and daughters love the grass.
3rd pick: #6 (Jungle Java) (9-2) - Since late Nov this Arizona bred has gone 4-0-2-1. He's moving to the grass for the first time, but is bred to handle the surface switch. Stakes placed on the dirt facing state-breds and a threat in this spot.
