Top pick: #1 (DEAL BREAKER) - Has the inside and is the in-shape speed. Drops off a win and this veteran gelding can stalk if necessary. In the Miyadi barn and with Baze out of town, Hernandez is an able replacement.
2nd pick: #7 (Jiddaw) - In career best shape he moves up in price off a very easy win here on Dec. 29. He continues to work fast and is a strong win threat again in this spot.
3rd pick: #5 (Knockout Artist) - Working very fast for his first start since Dec. 12 and this gelding is 3 for 5 on this surface. Can be a factor with his best off the 7 week break.
