Top pick: #1a (PATRICK S) - He's part of a "Lupe" Preciado trained entry and he has jocken Angel Arroyo listed on both halves. Colt set a fast pace and held to finish 2nd here at this level on Nov 4th. Barn shortens him up a bit for this and he's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Silver Morgan) - The 2nd half of the Preciado entry, colt is training very fast for his first start and four of the works are of the bullet variety. Has the rail and is a major player if he runs.
3rd pick: #4 (Game Effort) - He rallied from far back to just miss when debuting here for a $40K tag on Nov 2. Trainer Tony Dutrow (34% 2nd time out) moves him up in class and colt is a stretch threat.
