Top pick: #2 (LEWISTON) (5-2) - He ships back from Sunland Park where he was competitive in one of two facing tougher going two-turns. He's 2-for-3 on this surface and both have come in sprints. Working nicely and he's the top pick.
2nd pick: #4 (Resist) (4-1) - Claimed in early Jan. at Golden Gate Fields for $12.5K, he's been on the sidelies since and this gelding has run well on real dirt in the past without winning. Major force with his best against these.
3rd pick: #1a (Mo Rock) (5-2) - Part of a Kevin Eikelberry trained entry, he was an easy maiden winner here two back, then ran evenly after a "stumbling" start last out in his first facing winners. Drops, has a fine recent work, and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #6 (El Cazador) (6-1) - He rallied to finish second last out facing a bit weaker and should get a fast/and or contested place to rally into. Price play.
