No. 2 Tone Feelin (7-2) battled on the pace and was clearly second best in a flat-mile entry level affair at Zia Park on Nov. 7, and he did not have the best trip when losing as the favorite three weeks later. The fresh gelding should be forwardly placed and can bounce back. 

No. 4 Lettherainsettleit (5-1) raced wide chasing the pace in a clear victory in a claiming dirt route at Sunland Park on Jan. 11. The veteran gelding has struck twice at Turf Paradise and won both starts at one mile. 

No. 1 Creative Way (5-2) exits a prominent-throughout win in a slow early-fast late dirt route at Los Alamitos on Dec. 15. He earned a quality speed rating last time and is a logical contender if able to run two alike. 

No. 6 Kirby Derby (9-2) rallied for the place in a flat mile dirt race at Sunland Park last time. The relatively consistent gelding can rally for a share.
