Top pick: #5 (MISDEED) (8-5) - The probable favorite, he rallied from far back to finish 2nd here when debuting in a 6 furlong turf race at this level on Nov 10. Trainer Rick Mandella (20% 2nd time out), has this colt by "Rock Hard Ten" working fast and stretches him out in distance. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Cinco de Mario) (3-1) - Strong contender clearly is much better on the grass and last out he stalked, bid to the front, and tired in the last 1/16th to finish 3rd. He's worked fast since and will be involved from start to finish.
3rd pick: #3 (Dice Flavor) (5-1) - No speed type has rallied to improve his position in both grass sprints and in his latest he was three back of "Misdeed" at the wire. Son of "Scat Daddy" is another that's stretching out and is working on the quick side for this attempt. In the mix.
