Top pick: #1 (MISSILE MOTOR) - Wonderful veteran is in great present form and the prospect of some moisture in the track (rain is predicted) would only make his chances better as he's (16-6-5-2) on wet surfaces. He's also a bit quicker than his two main rivals. The top pick.
2nd pick: #3 (Independence War) - He defeated the top pick by a 1/2 length on Nov. 22, then finished 3/4's of a length behind him last out when "Wolfson" beat both of them. Win candidate with a late move.
