Top pick: #2 (SHANE DANIEL ) - Probable favorite has run well in all four starts, has speed/stalking ability, and trainer Doug O'Neill will stretch him out in distance for the first time. Catches a field with little other pace and he should be able to take these from start to finish. Top Pick.
2nd pick: #1a (Just Imagine) - Son of "Unbridled Song", finished second here at this level and distance on Oct. 1. in his first effort around two turns. Blinkers go on today and he's an obvious contender if he repeats his last performance.
3rd pick: #3 (Diamond Touch) - Price-play, hasn't shown much in either start, but he's in an excellent barn (John Sadler), and trainer will add blinkers this afternoon. Could impact at a nice price.
