Top pick: #10 (DIGITAL JOE) - The probable favorite just failed here at this price going 5.5 furlongs on Dec. 16 in his first start since June 3rd at Belmont Park. He's worked since and has done his best work on this surface (8-0-3-2). Graduation day with a "clean" trip.
2nd pick: #9 (Trinity Warrior) - One of a pair entered by trainer Rodrigo Ubillo and the two runners will race as separate interests. He's been competitive in three of his last four at this level and caught a "sloppy" track in his lone poor effort. Speed/stalker is a win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #3 (Warrior From Above) - The second of the Ubillo pair has raced evenly in his last pair after coming back from a pair of layoffs. Stringing starts together, and with a bit of improvement in his third off the break he can factor at a very big price.
4th pick: #6 (El Dreamer) - Tends to run evenly, but was less than a length back of "Trinity" last out and should be a much bigger price this afternoon. Home-bred has a pair of sharp works since his last race and can impact at generous odds.
