Top pick: #3 (VOTER) - Ships in from Kentucky where he raced evenly at this trip Nov 18 at Churchill Downs in his 2nd back off a year's absence. Colt by "Victory Gallop" has a nice drill since coming east, is in the Mott barn, and is the choice in a competitive contest.
2nd pick: #7 (Sanchise) - The probable favorite ships in from Philadelphia Park where he's finished 2nd in his last pair at this level. Has fine early speed and trainer Greg Sacco gets Dominguez to ride in this colt's New York debut.
3rd pick: #5 (This Hard Land) - No speed type has run well on this surface in the past(3-0-2-1)nad will be stretching back out to his favorite distance(4-0-3-1). New York-bred faces "open" company for the first time in his career this afternoon.
