Top pick: #8 (KENICHI) (3-1) - Gelding was a sharp maiden winner here Nov. 16 in his first since March 3rd when he debuted at Santa Anita. The "figure" earned in his win is a big one and he's nicely spotted by trainer Mark Glatt as this 3-year-old faces fellow winners for the first time.
2nd pick: #5 (Candy Waltz) (5-1) - He missed by a nose at Santa Anita on Oct. 14 when racing for this $25K tag and was claimed that day by Mike Pender. Gelding ran evenly in a two-turn grass race for a $50K price Nov. 22 in his first for the new barn and they drop him back to the purchase price and switch surfaces with him. Dangerous foe.
3rd pick: #7 (Until You) (6-1) - Price play has some sharp early speed and will be taking a big drop in price this afternoon. Gelding's lone win came here and trainer vann Belvoir has him spotted where 3-year-old is a serious factor.
