Top pick: #5 (PLAYFUL TIGER) - He hasn't seen action since October 1st when he tired bady after pressing the pace at this level. Colt has some changes today starting with a new trainer (Jane Cibelli 24% with new arrivals) and she'll remove this runners blinkers (25%). Virginia-bred is working fast and Cibelli had him training at Tampa before heading north. Looks set for big return.
2nd pick: #4 (Jersey Nugget) - Speedy and lightly raced 5yo hasn't run since August 19th, but missed by a neck here at this tag and trip a year ago off a similar layoff. He'll be tough on the front-end.
