Top pick: #1 (CAIXA ELETRONICA) (1-2) - This race is named after the fine Repole Stable runner "Uncle Mo" and we'll assume they've entered this veteran that they own to take home the trophy. Hard-hitting 8yo has banked $1.6M during his 60-start career and would appear that he has this sub-par group at his bidding.
2nd pick: #5 (St Liams Halo) (6-1) - He has some speed and this field isn't "long" on that factor. "Caixa" has always liked coming from "off the pace," so this 6-year-old should have the early lead unless "Ponzi" wants it.
3rd pick: #4 (Ponzi Scheme) (4-1) - He's best at longer distance, but ships up from Palm Meadows where he's been training both fast and frequently for trainer Tony Dutrow. He has won a sprint stakes in the past and can make some noise if ready for his first start since Nov. 3.
