Top pick: #6 (OH SO BILLY) (9-5) - The probable favorite, colt by "Unusual Heat" cost $400K as a yearling and is working very fast for trainer Bob Baffert (24% first out). Looks sll set to make his debut a winning one.
2nd pick: #3 (Pray Hard) (2-1) - He's finished second in three straight at this level, once each at Del Mar, Santa Anita, and Hollywood. Obvious threat, and the likely winner if "Billy" isn't ready.
3rd pick: #8 (Prince of Paris) (15-1) - Longshot raced very wide and evenly in his well-bet debut here on Nov. 8. Colt has worked nicely since and can impact at a big price.
4th pick: #7 (Cousin Ricky) (5-1) - Debuting colt is from the Mullins barn (22% first out) and the latest drill, a sharp half-mile gate breeze should have him on edge.
