Top pick: #5 (UNACCOUNTABLE) - Ran some strong races late in the fall in New York for trainer Chad Brown. Looks well-prepared for this, draws a nice post, and his best races have come at this 8.5 furlong distance. The choice.
2nd pick: #9 (D' Wildcard) - From a very dangerous turf barn (Angel Penna Jr.), his two best races have come going long on the grass. Win contender with a repeat of either of those.
3rd pick: #4 (Intaglio) - Barclay Tagg-trained runner improved immediately when transferred to his care. His main rider, Eibar Coa is aloft and he's a big player.
