Top pick: #10 (JIMMY FILLPOT) (4-1) - He's training well local for his first since early October when Mike Maker claimed him for $40K. Speed/stalker has been competitive in the past facing tougher, and it's of note that J.J. Castellano is aboard.
2nd pick: #2 (Inventor's Gate) (5-1) - He's dropping down to a new low and is racing off a 6-week freshening. Colt has ability, and at this reduced level is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #12 (Candy Man Can) (9-2) - Gelding draws a tough post, but enters off a career best when he finished second at this tag in early November. He has enough speed to stay close early and is a win threat if able to avoid a wide trip.
4th pick: #9 (Comancheria) (10-1) - No speed type is well bred and in a top barn (Jonathan Sheppard). He's actually won before, but was disqualified for a medical violation. Stretch threat.
5th pick: #5 (Captain Keon) (12-1) - Long time maiden has early speed and has been competitive in the past. He fits on "figures" and the level and distance are fine.
