Top pick: #2 (THEROS) (4-1) - Darley home-bred races with lasix for the first time and that's a strong 36% winning move by trainer Kiaran McLaughlin. Son of "Pulpit" has early speed and broke his maiden in wire-to-wire fashion at Belmont going 7-furlongs Oct. 10. Draws a nice inside post and is the top pick.
2nd pick: #7 (Ironicus) (5-2) - Grey home-bred rallied from far back on this course to break his maiden on New Year's Day. It was his first on the turf, first with lasix, and first going around two-turns.
3rd pick: #3 (Camden Street) (3-1) - Son of "Elusive Quality" won his debut on this course Nov. 17, then chased and weakened late to finish a 1/2 length back of "Theros" last out. In the Pletcher barn, and it's Edgar Prados off and J.J. Castellano on. New jockey wins at a 31% clip when riding for the "Hall of Fame" trainer.
4th pick: #10 (Morning Calm) (10-1) - Colt rallied into a very slow pace to win when debuting on this course Dec. 28. Nice effort in a large field (13) and he was forced to race wide for the last half-mile. Working fast since and must be left in the mix.
