Top pick: #3 (GOLDEN WARRIOR) - Makes his first local start and only his second since Nov. 13 and three-year-old will race off a trainer switch to Wilton Whitehouse. Accustomed to facing tougher his whole career he meets a very weak field and should be able to beat these. He has a fine work on 4 days ago since shipping.
2nd pick: #2 (Chinle Vigil) - He showed good speed in his debut before tiring to finish fourth, beaten 4 1/2 lengths. Has the rail and a repeat of that effort makes him a threat.
3rd pick: #6 (Sorullo) - Firster is working fast and has a sharp gate work on his tab. Capable barn (Frank Lucarelli) looks like he has him set for his debut.
