Top pick: #5 (CLASSIC R AND B) - He's won two of his last four and looked especially sharp when defeating weaker here at this distance on Nov 3. One run type is only one of two with a victory on this surface and he can run this crew down turning for home.
2nd pick: #1 (Into the Fray) - Claimed Oct 4 by Dave Jacobson for $25K, he's freshened him up since that time. Speed/stalker is nicely spotted, draws the rail, and Jacobson wins at a 28% rate with new claims, and at a 31% clip off of this type of layoff.
3rd pick: #4 (Talented Whiz) - Since joining the barn of Jamie Ness via a claim in April, this colt has gone (7-3-2-1)and last out at Belmont he came up a nose shy at this level going a mile. Capable sprinting and he should be involved every step.
