Top pick: #7 (FORDHAM ROAD) - Very lightly-raced 5-year-old by "Giant's Causeway" finished fourth at Hollywood at this level on Nov. 26 in his first start since making his debut in late May. Working very fast for this and he'll be making back-to-back starts for the first time. Looks all set.
2nd pick: #3 (Cook Inlet) - He runs today off almost a three month break and is training fast for the barn of John Sadler. Home-bred by "Candy Ride" has been competitive in six of his seven outings, including his two previous turf attempts.
3rd pick: #8 (Silver Dragon) - He was scratched the other day out of a 6.5 furlong contest to await this spot. Lightly-raced grey gelding is improving and has been sharp in both his turf starts. Has tactical speed and a good post to use it from.
