6		STAR GUITAR	3/5	4yo colt has won 10 of his 13 starts and 2 of those defeats came in graded stakes last spring. He won the LA Sprint on Champions Day last year. Star Guitar came back strong following an injury late in his 2yo year. Has been unstoppable when facing Bayou-breds and loves a wet track in case we are blessed by some more rain.
2		BREAK UP	8/1	Finished 2nd to Star Guitar on Oct. 15, a race he likely needed. Trainer Gilbert sharpened his speed in a sprint last time, so he may narrow the gap on the favorite this time. He won 3 of his 4 starts on wet tracks.
1		IDE LIKE A DOUBLE	3/1	Got a needed sprint prep under his belt after being off the track since July. He is the only one in the race who has not been beaten by Star Guitar. Trainer Brett Brinkman wins 30% of the time with the sprint to route move.
