Top pick: #1 (EA) (4-5) - Veteran has always had the ability to "run all day" and has beaten better fields than this many times in the past. Goes today off almost an eight-week freshening, and he'll be very tough with his best.
2nd pick: #3 (Colossal Gift) (8-5) - He's the main danger. Most of his success has come on the grass, but he broke his maiden on this surface at this time last year, and comes into this off a come from behing turf win on Nov. 21.
3rd pick: #6 (Wayward Sailor) (12-1) - Longshot enters this in fine form and has a bit more early speed than most. He's never won on the dirt, but should be involved at least until they hit the stretch for the second time. May hang on for a share.
