Top pick: #7 (JUPITER TRIO) - He was a winner here in an entry-level allowance on Nov. 17 and this grey colt is continuing to improve. One-run type catches a field where the pace will almost certainly be fast/contested and he can run them down late.
2nd pick: #6 (Head Heart Hoof) - He's won 15 races in his career and comes off a win here at this level in late November. Draws outside of the other speed and that's to his advantage.
3rd pick: #1 (Ground Force) - Tries hard every time, has the rail, and this gelding by "Bowman's Band" is (5-2-2-0) on this inner-surface. Doesn't need the lead to run well and think he'll factor at a nice price today.
