Top pick: #1 (HIGHLY CYNICAL) (3-1) - Gelding stretches out in distance and will be racing on the grass for the first time. Speed/stalker missed by a "neck" here at this level going 5.5-furlongs on the dirt just 11-days ago. It was a career best overall, draws the rail, and is bred to handle the lawn.
2nd pick: #7 (Candy Raider) (9-2) - No-speed type raced evenly here facing a bit tougher at this trip on Nov. 3. It was his first since shipping west from the mid-Atlantic region and he should improve off of it.
3rd pick: #8 (Volage) (5-2) - Well bred gelding rallied to miss by a 1/2 length here at this distance on Nov. 3. Consistent sort had a comfortable trip that day and draws a much tougher post today.
4th pick: #6 (The Third One) (8-1) - He hasn't raced since April 1st but is dropping in class and was competitive in his one previous grass try. May grab a share at a big price if ready.
