Top pick: #3 (GOLDEN CENTS) (2-1) - Talented colt has gone (4-3-1-0) overall and in his only loss he finished a game second to last seasons 2-year-old champ "Shangai Bobby" in the G1 "Champagne" stakes at Belmont. He was a sharp winner here on Jan. 5 in the G3 "Sham" stakes and is training fast for this important contest.
2nd pick: #2 (Flashback) (8-5) - Undefeated (2-for-2) and so far untested, he was a very impressive winner here at this trip on Feb. 2 in the G2 "Bob Lewis" stakes. Grey son of "Tapit" is working very fast and he'd be no real surprise.
3rd pick: #8 (Omega Star) (6-1) - He ran well last out to finish second in the rich "Cal Breeders'" stakes here on Jan. 26 on a wet-fast surface in his first around two-turns. Has ability, can close strongly, and he should get a fast pace to rally into.
4th pick: #7 (Salutos Amigos) (6-1) - Recent maiden winner takes a huge step up in class and will also be trying a two-turn distance for the first time. Lightly raced, improving, and he'll be a square price.
