Top pick: #3 (CASPER THE CAT) - The probable favorite, colt set a fast pace and was beaten a nose debut here at this level on Nov. 7. Trainer Chris Richard wins at a 25% clip second time out and he worked this son of "Discrett Cat" a solid half-mile a week ago. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #2 (Smokey Deputy) - Grey son of "Smoke Glacken" finished second here going a mile on the grass on Oct. 31 and trainer Steve Asmussen will switch him to the dirt and shorten him up in distance for this attempt. Colt worked a sharp 5 furlongs on the main track on Nov. 17, so the surface switch shouldn't pose a problem.

3rd pick: #1 (Run Hide) - He's one of two debuting runners entered by trainer Don Von Hemel and the pair race uncoupled. Colt is working nicely here since coming from Arlington Park in early October. Barn doesn't win that often with first time starters, but this field isn't "deep" after the top two selections and Von Hemel's main local rider Luis Quinonez is aboard.
