Top pick: #8 (TRAPPE SHOT) - He had a very "troubled" debut at Saratoga last July and has been on the sidelines since. Expensive ($850,000) son of "Tapit" was heavily bet that day and is training fast at Palm Meadows for his return to action. The top pick.
2nd pick: #1 (Smoking the Field) - Has the rail and he's finished second or third in four of his five starts. Florida-bred has a pair of solid races over the track and he draws the rail. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #10 (Monte) - Colt has been freshened-up by a good barn (George Arnold) since finishing a rallying second at this level going two-turns at Calder on Jan. 1. Stretch threat in this field.
