Top pick: #6 (FIST PUMP) (7-2) - He's raced himself back into shape following a pair of layoffs and last out rallied to finish second here on Nov. 11. Consistent sort likes to sit and pounce and there's enough speed signed on to help his style.
2nd pick: #1 (Gal Has to Like It) (4-1) - Clearly the main speed, colt tired facing tougher in his last pair and veteran Art Sherman drops him to a new low, has him working fast, and Florida-bred draws the rail. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Buds Pal) (7-2) - He pressed and weakened here sprinting on the turf Nov. 9. Race was his first off a Julio Canani claim and he'll drop him just under the purchase price and move him from turf to the all weather.
