Top pick: #2 (BIG BUSINESS) (3-1) - He's one of two entered by Dave Jacobson and the pair race unxcoupled. Freshened up since Jan. 9, one-run type is nicely spotted and he's been sharp on this surface (3-2-1-0) in the past.
2nd pick: #3 (N F's Destiny) (2-1) - Very fast from the gate, consistrnt (8-4-3-1), is (2-1-1-0) on this strip and is clearly the main speed. Can win this if he can handle the extra furlong he travels today.
3rd pick: #6 (St Liam's Halo) (12-1) - Longshot drops down in class after being overmatched in a pair of stakes. Capable, he draws a nice post and can factor at a big price.
4th pick: #5 (Night Maneuver) (4-1) - The field's only New York-bred, he's very consistent (11-4-2-3) and runs second back off a 70 day break. Must be left in the mix.
