Top pick: #1 (TALLY STICK) (4-1) - Well-bred gelding has finished second in three of four starts on the local dirt and is cutting back in distance after a near miss at this level going a mile on Jan. 13. Capable sprinting, 4-year-old by "Street Cry" has the rail and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #7 (Wild Wings) (8-1) - Price play runs second back from a nine month layoff and raced both wide and evenly in his retur race on Jan. 13. It's Lopez off and hot apprentice Whiteshield on, and this gelding can factor with a slight move forward.

3rd pick: #5 (Makingfuninthesun) (5-1) - He exits the same Jan. 13 mile contest as "Tally" and tired very late after setting a pressured pace. He can impact on the cut back in distance.

4th pick: #4 (Timeless Storm) (6-1) - British Columbia-bred has some back class and has been competitive in two straight here at this level going 6-furlongs. The added 1/16th he travels to day is in his favor, and 5-year-old is a stretch threat.
