Top pick: # (WILDCAT ENERGY) (6-1) - Price play comes off a sharp maiden win when sprinting here at this price Dec. 30. Nice effort came in his second back from a four month layoff and trainer Kevin Eikleberry will bring him back quickly (9 days) and stretch him out in distance for his first facing winners.
Top pick: # (Captain Magic) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he had some early traffic issue last out facing tougher on the local grass, but in his previous start he finished second here at this level and distance. That effort came off a trainer change to Angel Silva and a repeat of it makes him tough.
Top pick: # (George the Red) (7-2) - Lightly raced, he's clearly the main speed and will be dropping down in class and stretching out in distance. Very dangerous and is in the three-horse win mix.
Top pick: # (Vindicate It) (4-1) - Well-bred runner broke his maiden here in late April and did not race again until Nov. 30 when he ran wide and evenly in a sprint. Working fine since, he moves out in distance and has Annie Von Rosen(who rode him in his maiden win) back aboard.
