Top pick: #1 (ALBACORE BOB) (3-1) - Hard-hitter has gone (4-2-0-1) since shifting here from Boise last fall and comes into this off a solid effort on Jsn. 4 when he finished fourth of eight, beaten just under two lengths. Has the rail, Scott Stevens back aboard, and is the horse to best.

2nd pick: #6 (Goochio) (7-2) - Another who tries hard each time out (30-9-4-2) and he "hung" just a bit in his latest to be beaten three lengths after winning here facing tougher on Dec. 3 in his first local start.

3rd pick: #7 (High Class Cat) (10-1) - Price play has some early speed and moves off the rail after being sent hard last out from that inside slot and tiring after being involved in a speed duel.

5th pick: #3 (Chesters Due) (5-1) - Arizona-bred comes off a fine 2012 that saw him go (11-3-2-3) and he enters this off a come from behind win here Dec. 27. Veteran went (5-2-1-2) during the fall after coming here from Arapahoe Park off a three month layoff.
