I never do this but why not? Pretty short

Top picks
Mo Donegal - is anyone happier about the Baffert mess than Todd Pletcher? The original White Mercedes? I think the cursed one hole may be good as he will definitely save ground and if anyone can steer him through the mess late it's Irad. Perfect sheet, I know most don't get new tops, especially TAP, but I like this one. I just do.

Smile Happy - I laugh when I see Runhappy but I like his running style here, he's fast enough to win and will be a fair/nice price.

Zandon - Will not be in my exactas at a short price as I have a hard time believing Upstart = 1-1/4 miles? But he fits and has to be on tri/super tix.

Second tier
Charge It - I think he was a little green last out and will improve. Fair price+.

Messier/Taiba - Messier makes more sense to me. These horses are not really training like Baffert would train them? They are going to get bet. Could be 1-2 and could both be off the board, especially if they have company up front. I'm seeing it's going to be clearing up Saturday so a drying out track? Could be tiring? Neither of these has ever seen a surface like they're going to see tomorrow. Not even close. Taiba shipped late. PITA. Plural.

Zosos/Cyberknife - These are probably going to be value. Both have a punchers chance of winning and much better chance of getting on the board.

So I'm bullish on Pletchers and Smile Happy and will use others underneath and will have a few tix without the Yakteens. Pretty straightforward for me.

Good luck to all!
