No. 6 Dos de Oros (6-1) came through with a sharp maiden-claiming win in a local sprint Jan. 3, and the show finisher was a next-out winner. He earned a competitive speed rating last time and projects a stalking trip for a productive jockey-trainer team.
No. 1 Villanito (8-1) stalked wide and graduated in the local mud Jan. 10, and the clear runner-up was a next-out winner. His trainer shows a profit with recent graduates trying winners for the first time.
No. 2 Running Lucky (5-1) is a New York invader for Chad Summers. He should be part of the pace under apprentice rider Mattie Martin.
No. 7 Jesus’ Dream (4-1) had early trouble and raced wide in an even effort when last seen in December. He adds Lasix and figures to stalk the pace.
