Top pick: #2 (OUR BROTHER B.A.) (3-1) - Lightly raced, he comes off a career best when he finished 2nd here at this level and distance. It was his first ever on the grass and a repeat of it takes this.
2nd pick: #4 (Go Dude) (8-1) - Longshot ships in from Illinois where he raced evenly from a tough outside post on Nov 12. He's worked well since and faces a much weaker group in this spot.
3rd pick: #8 (Kinsdale Sailor) (5-1) - He finished almost six back of "Our Brother A" last out but had all sorts of problems at the break and in the first furlong. Contends today with an alert getaway.
4th pick: #5 (Ride Hard Kowboy) (8-5) - Gelding stretches out in distance and moves from dirt to turf for his second start. He raced evenly in his debut and was only beaten a bit over two lengths. Can't be eliminated today.
