Top pick: #4 (DEVIL TRAIN) - Lightly raced son of "Silver Train" is working very fast locally for his first start since late Nov. when he had a troubled trip at this level and distance in his first facing winners. Colt has a tremendous work at Palm Meadows on Dec.24th ( a half-mile best of 111 that morning). He can win this at a square price.
2nd pick: #7 (Papa Tango) - Son of "Kitten's Joy" was a sharp winner at Hawthorne when debuting there in early Dec. and has a very quick drill here on Christmas Eve. In an excellent barn (Jim DiVito) and this colt may have some real talent.
3rd pick: #1 (Gold For Cash) - He's run well in his last two starts, both at this level and he draws the rail for this attempt. Speed/stalker comes off a career best at Calder and he's a threat today at a nice price from his inside post.
