Top pick: #9 (JAY EYE SEE) (7-2) - He ran a career best when finishing a close up fourth here on Dec. 6 and is brought back quickly and with the addition of blinkers. Colt by "Curlin" faces mostly an untried group and is the chouce on the quick turnaround.
2nd pick: #4 (Oistin's Town) (4-1) - Debuting colt by top sire "Speightstown" is in the Pletcher barn, is working above average, and by the looks of his drills he has good speed. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (To dare is to Do) (8-1) - Another debuting colt and this son of "Forestry" has been working both fast and frequently at Palm Meadows. It's always good to see Castellano on a "firster" as he normally has several choices of mounts.
4th pick: #2 (Rickashea) (12-1) - He raced evenly late after making a move at the head of the stretch when debuting at Calder Nov. 18. Lasix is added and Trujillo is back on the re-ride.
