Top pick: #7 (ULTERIOR MOTIVE) - Son of "Distorted Humor" only made one start at age two, chasing and tiring in a two-turn race on the Saratoga turf. On the shelf since that August 27 contest he's working very fast for his return and runs for a new trainer (Richard Dutrow Jr. 23% with new arrivals). Dominguez is aboard and the trainer/jockey combo wins at an incredible 46% rate. The top selection.
2nd pick: #2b (Brother Bird) - Logical contender finished second at Saratoga August 15 in his only race in 2009, then finished a solid second March 27 at Gulfstream going 7 furlongs in his seasonal debut. Strong win candidate, he runs coupled in the wagering with "Christmas for Liam".
3rd pick: #2 (Christmas for Liam) - He finished two lengths behind "Brother Bird" when he debuted in late March and has a pair of sharp local works since shipping north. Contender.
