Top pick: #6 (GIANTINTHEMOONLITE) (2-1) - Lightly-raced and well bred, he's stretching out beyond 6.5-furlongs for the first time. Speed/stalker is in shape and son of "Giant's Causeway" is bred to enjoy this longer trip.
2nd pick: #4 (Huge Asset) (5-2) - Philadelphia Park shipper come here in career best form for a winning outfit (Patty Farro). Since late August this speedy sort has gone 6-2-4-0 facing open company and is nicely spotted this afternoon. He has Irad Ortiz Jr. aboard and this gelding by "Freud" should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #7 (Adams Note) (7-2) - He's been competitive in six straight at this level. Latest effort saw him finish second here at this trip on Dec. 15. Gelding by "Sky Mesa" has a stalking style and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #3 (Three for Me) (12-1) - Longshot finished fourth here Dec. 15 and was three lengths back of "Adams Note." He was forced into a wide rally that day and should get a more comfortable trip this afternoon. Stretch threat.
