Top pick: #4 (WRATH OF CONG) (10-1) - He's improved some in his last pair and trainer gary Contessa will be dropping his claiming price by half and cutting him back from a mile to 6 furlongs. This field drew pretty weak and he has a solid shot at a big price.
2nd pick: #5 (Iron Cafe) (2-1) - Colt faced tougher in his first pair and will run this afternoon for the first time since Oct. 26. The Juan Guerrero barn has him working steadily at Belmont and drops him to a new low in price.
3rd pick: #3 (T C Lane) (3-1) - He's from the same barn as "Cong," but the pair of stable-mates race uncoupled. Filly takes on males and has displayed good early speed in all her starts.
5th pick: #1 (Mulligan Man) (5-2) - He's taken some betting action in both his starts and races today at a new low off almost an eight week freshening. Working well, Dominguez is aboard for the first time, and this grey colt is a threat, but will be over-bet.
