Top pick: #2 (POINT OF ENTRY) (2-1) - He comes off a fabulous year and is working sharply at Palm Meadows for his first start since a narrow loss at Santa Anita Nov. 3 in the (G1) "Breedrs' Cup Turf." Takes this if ready.
2nd pick: #3 (Salto) (4-1) - Price play has a recency on the main participants and has more early speed than most entered. Irish-bred has a solid shot at a square price.
3rd pick: #6 (Animal Kingdom) (8-5) - The 2011 "Kentucky Derby" (G1) winner rallied to finish second the the "Breeders' Cup Turf Mile"(G1) on Nov. 3 and is training sharply at Palm Meadows for his first race since then. Stretch threat.
