Top pick: #7 (JABULANI) - Runs first off a private sale to high profile owner Frank Calabrese and a positive trainer change to Nick Canani (33% with new arrivals). Working very fast for his first race since Oct. 7 and gelding by "Speightstown" has finished close-up in three straight grass races.
2nd pick: #10 (Hurricane Elvis) - May be favored here as he ships down from Belmont for the Chad Brown barn. He run well facing tougher in his last pair and has done so with the addition of lasix. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Dr. Kenney) - He was two back of Jabulani the time they met and this gelding by "Tiznow" will run with blinkers on for the first time. He tends to race evenly at "crunch" time, so maybe the "hood" will cure him of that habit.
