(# 5) TOOCOOLFORSCHOOL - Tony Dutrow has been very successful with bringing his two-year-olds back from layoffs and getting the maiden win. This gelding showed a bit of speed in a pair of starts at Delaware against MSW competition. Comes back from almost a three-month freshening with blinkers on and a drop into a claimer. Working well and Dominguez takes the reins. Graduation Day.

(# 8) Funny Book - Trainer David Fawkes did well here last winter with limited stock. Main base is in Florida. This gelding ran well in the slop at Calder in his debut on Nov. 19. He's worked fast since shipping north and he's a win candidate if the top pick is "short."

(# 1) Decisive Victory - Hasn't run since a late June debut at Monmouth for trainer Julian Canet. He has a very smart drill at Belmont on Dec. 8 for this return assignment.

(# 6) Hackensack - Has been well bet in all three starts. His best was his debut race at Saratoga. Drops in half for this and goes third off a layoff, a dangerous combination of factors.
