Top pick: #2 (CREATIVE CAUSE) - The class of the field, he went (5-3-1-1) last year at age two, and won the important Norfolk Stakes(G1)on this surface going two-turns Oct. 1. Grey colt by "Giant's Causeway" followed that up with a close-up third-place finish in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) at Churchill Downs on Nov. 5. Training very fast for his return, and this "Derby" hopeful can take this if ready.
2nd pick: #5 (American Act) - Recent maiden winner did so on this surface going 5.5 furlongs on Jan. 16. Excellent effort and he's come back with a fine work on Feb. 4. Think he can factor at a square price.
