Top pick: #5 (lAND GRANT) - Finished an excellent second here on December 7, in his first try at a distance. On the shelf since, Kiaran McLaughlin trained runner is working fast and frequently for his return. The pick.
2nd pick: #3 (Cliffy's Future) - Exits the same race as the top pick, so he also has a similar layoff. Two lengths behind that one in that December contest, he too is training well, presumably with the blinkers on that he'll wear today. Colt runs for Levine for the first time (a 35% angle) and he and Dominguez win at a 30% when teamed up. Could turn the tables today on those angles.
3rd pick: #1 (Pitched Perfectly) - Over-matched in a stakes last out, he was impressive in his maiden win two back on this surface. Draws the rail and is a contender.
