Top pick: #7 (SANDCAT) (4-1) - He just missed here at this level and distance on Dec. 12 in his second back from a two month break. He has a stalking style and there's plenty of speed signed on to set up his late move.
2nd pick: #4 (Bourbon Melody) (6-1) - Gelding was an easy maiden winner here on Dec. 11 in his first off a Dave Jacobson claim. That was a career best and the "figure" earned was high. Threat right back.
3rd pick: #8 (Sing the Dream) (8-1) - He's been freshened up since Oct. 19 when he had a troubled break in a $150K stakes at Belmont. Very fast from the gate, working well, and a big threat with a "clean" getaway.
4th pick: #3 (Sol the Freud) (5-1) - Consistent stalker is stakes placed and last out ran second in a $150K stakes on Nov. 23. Can factor again this afternoon.
