Top pick: #4 (KINGOFGOLDSTREET) (3-1) - Lightly-raced gelding is well-bred, has shown some speed facing tougher, and trainer Tom Albertrani will drop him to a new low and adds blinkers. Home-bred by "Street Cry" meets a weak field and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (King Kongrats) (5-2) - Colt takes the big drop into maiden claimers for the first time and meets a very weak field on paper. Gelding by "Congrats" has the rail and should show whatever he has in this spot.
3rd pick: #8 (Karamojo) (4-1) - He's shown little in both stars, but each came against tougher and he had some trouble at the start in each. In a winning barn (Kiaran McLaughlin) and he probably has more talent than he's shown to date.
4th pick: #7 (Pacemakestherace) (8-1) - Colt showed some speed last out and held to run a distant third in a contest dominated by the winner. Former jockey Mike Miceli trains this horse and he usually wins some during the winter. Any speed on this inner-surface is dangerous.
