Top pick: #1 (REASON TO DRINK) - Speedy colt by "Milwaukee Brew" hasn't race since March 16th when he pressed a fsast pace in a starter-allowance before tiring to run third. Woking nicely and a sharp barn (Mike Pino) drops him back in for a price. The horse to beat from his inside post.
2nd pick: #7 (Raise the Code) - He hasn't raced since breaking his maiden at Monmouth on Oct. 3rd. He trained at Gulfstream without starting and looks ready for his return to action.
3rd pick: #5 (Avalanche Attack) - Speedy son of "Pomeroy" races first off a Kate DeMasi claim and a subsequent 2 1/2 month layoff. Colt has talent and his new trainer wins at a 26% rate fresh off a claim. Must be left in the mix.
