Top pick: #6 (TOLAIR) (6-5) - Colt finished a solid third when debuting here from the rail in a large field (11), racing for twice this price on Jan. 5. Home-bred hails from a barn (Jorge Navarro) that's having another great meet and this Florida-bred shoul enjoy the move ooff the inside.
2nd pick: #5 (Baby Champ) (3-1) - Leading rider Dan Centeno gets aboard this Gulfstream shipper from the barn of Tony Sano. Gelding finished second when debuting at Calder Nov. 9, then ran evenly on Dec. 9 at Gulfstream. Major factor, and Centeno has won with 6-of-21 when riding for Sano.
3rd pick: #2 (Notta Boat) (6-1) - Looks like trainer Greg Griffith is racing this gelding into shape and he'll drop him way down in price, move him from turf to dirt, and shorten him up in distance. Kentucky home-bred has gone evenly in his last pair going two-turns on the grass and should offer whatever he has in this spot.
