Top pick: #7 (FORTIFY) (8-5) - Lightly-raced and talented, he ran a career best when winning an allowance on Dec. 6 and this Darley home-bred by "Distorted Humor" was highly thought of at one time. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Zetterholm) (4-1) - Once promising gelding just ran here on Saturday and trainer Michelle Nevin brings him back in three dasy for this attempt. Her old boss (Rick Dutrow) was a specialist on the quick turnaround and this 4-year-old is a major threat.
3rd pick: #5 (Snake Pit) (3-1) - Another colt who has talent and had some promise at one time. Runs off a 70 day break and he has a shot with his best.
