Top pick: #1 (IRATINELEXBURANCE) - Filly was claimed in early October by Rich Schosberg for $50K and he's been working with her since. He has her working well and will add blinkers to her equipment for this attempt. Barn stretches her out in distance and she draws the rail. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Marcellina d'Oro) - The probable favorite, she has early speed, is in the Pletcher barn, and runs today off almost a seven week freshening. Daughter of "Medaglia d'Oro" cost $360K and last out finished third after setting a pressured pace on a sloppy track at Delaware. Win candidate.
