Top pick: #4 (STRAPPING) (5-1) - Colt broke slowly and raced wide and evenly when debuting at Keeneland for a $50K tag Oct. 20, then showed an improved effort at the same level at Churchill on Nov. 14. Freshened up since, he runs with blinkers off and had a fine half-mile drill here 10 days ago.

2nd pick: #5 (Don'tgetmestarted) (8-1) - Woodbine shipper is in a capable barn (Nick Gonzalez) and will be dropping a bit in price and switching to conventional dirt for the first time.

3rd pick: #3 (Gold Vegas) (3-1) - Gelding has gone (4-0-2-1) since late Oct. racing at Calder. One-run type fits with these and draws just off the rail. He should be competitive again in this spot.
