Top pick: #3 (TWEET ME) (5-2) - One of two entered by trainer Dave Jacobson and the pair race uncoupled. He has good early speed and breaks just off the rail. Colt showed an improved effort last out and the barn drops him into a career soft spot.
2nd pick: #5 (Summer Revival) (2-1) - The 2nd of the Jacobson pair, he's gone (3-2-1-0) and has won both starts since he was claimed out of his debut for $35,000. Speed/stalker races off a two month break and completes a strong hand from Jacobson.
3rd pick: #6 (Readysetketch) (5-1) - He broke his maiden on Dec 5th and did so fresh off a 2 1/2 month layoff. Well-bred gelding has been working sharply since and looms a factor in his first start against fellow winners.
5th pick: #4 (The Cat's Mine) (10-1) - Filly takes on the boys and last out rallied to finish 2nd here on Jan 1st facing her own sex. It's never easy for fillies to defeat males and a small slice would appear to be her ceiling.
