Top pick: #6 (DREAMALOT) - $300,000 colt by "Bernardini" showed a much improved effort last out at Belmont when trainer Dave Fawkes moved him to the turf. 3yo raced close-up, made a bid while between horses, and tired to finish 4th. Blinkers go on this afternoon and he has a near bullet work a week ago. The top selection.
2nd pick: #7 (Winloc's John Lee) - The field's strongest finisher did just that when rallying from far back to finish 2nd at this level and distance at Belmont on Oct 23. Improving, and a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Windaful) - Has some early speed and this gelding has been competitive in each of his 6 starts (all on the grass). He has two-turn experience and he catches a field without alot of visible pace signed on. 3yo will be in the vanguard from start to finish.
4th pick: #1a (I'maspeedyguy) - Very wide last out as he rallied to finhs 5th, 4 lengths back of "Winloc" on the wire. He's improving and can factor against this gfroup.
