Top pick: #5 (KINSALE SAILOR) (9-2) - Gelding ships in from Santa Anita where he raced evenly on the dirt going a mile on Oct. 29. Bred for the grass, he's working fast and has a solid shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #3 (Shakin Schiller) (2-1) - Colt has been competitive in all three dirt sprints and is stretching out in distance and trying the grass for the first time. He's by turf champ "Artie Schiller" and is racing with blinkers on. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Honey in Paradise) (4-1) - Filly once again takes on the boys after finishing third here at this level and distance on Nov. 3. She has a bit of early speed and should be involved from start-to-finish.
4th pick: #9 (Our Brother B.A.) (6-1) - Gelding has legitimate excuses in all three starts and is another that's trying a two-turn trip and the grass both for the first time. He continues to train well and probably has more talent than shown to date.
5th pick: #1 (Fix Bayonets) (5-1) - Even paced Canadian invader is another that is racing on the turf for the first time. He has the rail and may get a share of this at long odds.
