Top pick: #6 (COIL) (2-1) - Talented runner ships back from Aqueduct where he finished a close up third last out in the "Cigar Mile"(G1) on Nov. 24. Speed/stalker is working fast, stretches out, and is the top selection.
2nd pick: #4 (Ultimate Eagle) (3-1) - Nice effort on Hollywood grass Nov. 23 saw him set a fast pace and hold gamely to finish second in the "Citation H" (G2). Race was his first since March 3rd and he moves back to the main-track here where he won the G2 "Strub" last Feb. 4. Must be considered a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Tres Borrachos) (6-1) - He's never won on real dirt, but two back he just missed to the talented "Comma to the Top" in a strong effort. Stalker should get a solid pace to track, and he'll be a square price.
