Top pick: #5 (PINBALL) (4-5) - Grey colt by "Unbridled's Song" is on everyone's "trip" list as last out he rallied to finish second as a heavy favorite after being carried to the outside rail down the backstretch. He's worked fine since and should win this at a small price.
2nd pick: #6 (Cousin Michael) (4-1) - Solid contender did well to finish third last out, 4 1/2 behind "Pinball" after btreaking from a tough outside post. He's worked fast since, draws a better starting slot, and should factor.
3rd pick: #8 (Potus) (10-1) - Freshened up since early Nov, when last in action he was finishing second in back-to-back starts at this level. Grey gelding draws a tough field for his return and will need to do a bit better.
5th pick: #2 (Professor Chaos) (20-1) - Not a win candidate, but he should get to the rail at the break and with a patient ride could get a minor award at a very big price.
