dullahan will be a contender. so far my top pick is richard's kid in the pacific classic. dullahan is 2nd. rail trip will be 3rd. those horses are specialists on polytrack. those remain my top 3 picks.

game on dude and acclamation are gonna be the speedsters. game on dude doesn't seem to have yet lost a step but i dont think del mar isn't his best surface. so may not win this one. as for acclamation, well he appears to have lost a step and beat the dude easily in last year's race but had to hold off twirling candy at the end though. in his lone 2 starts have been wins but barely though. so am not too high either of them but will root for both them.
