Top pick: #1 (ROMAN SILVER) - Has the rail and runs for the hot barn of Joe Woodard. Colt finished a pace-chasing second here on Dec. 3 facing tougher and should win this as he takes a drop in price.
2nd pick: #5 (Solo Cat) - Longshot has some back class and runs third off a layoff in this spot. He ran very well last out on the Churchill turf in his second back off a four-month layoff. Can contend at a big price.
3rd pick: #3 (Rocket Legs) - Formerly in the barn of Todd Pletcher son of "Dynaformer" makes his first start today for trainer Bill Bradley. Working sharply and he brings a lot of back class with him. Can contend with these.
