Top pick: #1 (GIRL CODE) (3-1) - She's been competitive in all 4 appearances and is working fast for her first race since Nov 11th. Stalker has the rail and comes into this off a huge half-mile breeze at Belmont on Christmas Eve (2nd best of 124 that morning).
2nd pick: #3 (Blue Ballerina) (7-2) - Daughter of "Bluegrass Cat" has finished 2nd in all three starts and runs this afternoon first off a Rudy Rodriguez claim 9a 24% winning angle). New barn raises her in class and will stretch her out in distance. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Squeal) (2-1) - Filly by "Tiznow" has run 2nd in her last pair and is obviously improving. However she was no match for "Code" when debuting on Sep 9th and will need to step it up today. The morning line favorite, she holds no real advantage.
