1) Wire Z Wire, C. Lanaderos – Proven GIII winner last out.  Decent works. Tough spot from the rail.

2) Steel Moon, F. Pennington – Won last 3 starts.  Needs to avoid speed del.

3) Spotted Cat, R. Albarado –  Big purchase. 13 in the KYD last out. Can he turf?

4) Garibaldi, J. Leparoux – Nice win last out but I think he is just a nice allowance horse.

5) Creative Santa, J. Castellano – first tim with Yahudi he is 25%. Enough said.

6) Bombastic Pathology, G. Olguin – Proven on turf. Sneaky longshot at 12/1

7) Pittsburgh, T. Baze – Recently purchased $275.000 returns to preferred surface. My pick.

8) Desolation Island, I. Ortiz – Just another MB monster, this time on turf.

9) Cyrus The Virus, P. Lopez – 2-2 in restricted allowances. Big jump up.

10) Foggy Vision, J. Rosario – Game runner.  Thought to win from outside post.

11) Lexterieur Aapres, M. Smith – Big beyers last two starts but there are bigger in here.

12) Dogs Dragon, J. Talamo – Best in state bred company.
