Top pick: #8 (FLAT BOLD) - Has an experience edge on this field full of debuting stock. Broke slowly in his debut, rushed up into a fast pace and tired late. Moves off the rail and that should give the leading rider here, Rafael Bejarano some options. Trainer (Craig Dollase) wins at 29% 2nd time out.
2nd pick: #5 (Congaree Park) - Colt has a trio of fast "gate" drills showing and he's in the win-early Baffert barn.
3rd pick: #6 (Turk) - Another runner from the Baffert barn, this colt has one of the best drills of the entire meeting on his resume, a gate work on Dec. 14 that was best of 102 that worked the distance that morning.
