Top pick: #2 (ABRAHAM) (2-1) - The probable favorite, $300K son of "Distorted Humor" just missed when debuting here at this level going 6.5 furlongs on Jan 17. He's worked twice since and Todd Pletcher (34% 2nd time out) will stretch him out in distance(35%). The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Successful Brothers) (3-1) - He's finished 2nd in 3 of 4 starts and did so here at this level and demanding 9 furlong distance on Jan 19. Has the rail and is a threat with his experience.
3rd pick: #5 (Squadron A) (4-1) - Grey son of "Unbridled's Song" ran evenly here in a sprint when debuting just 13 days ago. Trainer dale Romans brings him back quickly, stretches him out, and has Castellano getting aboard this afternoon.
4th pick: #7 (The Candidate) (7-2) - Colt rallied from well back to finisj 4th here going a 'flat" mile on Jan 5th. He's worked 4 times since and all have been well-above average. Stretch threat.
