Top pick: #4 (KINSALE SAILOR) (10-1) - Price play rallied to finish third here at this level going a bit shorter on Nov. 19. He had some serious trouble at the break so the effort was solid under the circumstances.
2nd pick: #8 (Tizunanimous) (4-1) - He finished a pace-setting second here at this level two weeks ago. It was his first since shipping in from Santa Anita and a career best. Obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #11 (Holy Frac) (5-2) - He's lightly raced, has a flexible style, and is still improving. Last out he was only a 1/2 length back of "Tizunanimous" and should be involved from start-to-finish.
4th pick: #7 (Olmsted) (6-1) - Home bred by "Medaglia d'Oro" finished a non-threatening fourth when debuting here at this level and distance Dec. 16. Working steadily since, his excellent breeding should help him be competitive in start #2.
