Top pick: #4 (RAINBOW NORTH) (5-2) - Lightly raced speed/stalker comes off a solid effort at Los Alamitos on Dec. 13th. Facing a bit tougher, he set a fast pace and held to finish third at this distance. He's run well in two of three on the dirt and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #9 (Stolen Property) (3-1) - A strong win candidate, he raced evenly for twice this tag on Dec. 12th at Los Alamitos. He's dropping down, meets a weak field, and is the most consistent from a "figure" standpoint.
3rd pick: #8 (Cole Cole) (4-1) - He has some stretch kick and just missed at Los Alamitos facing a bit weaker at this distance on Dec. 18th. Stretch threat.
4th pick: #6 (Midnight Mayhem) (8-1) - Not a strong win candidate, but he's working sharply for his first since late May. He has room for upside and is a threat if ready.
