Top pick: #1 (COLLEEN'S SAILOR) (5-1) - Speed/stalker set the pace and held to finish second here in a $100K stakes on Dec. 29 in his first since a sharp win at Finger Lakes Nov. 7. He has the rail, a flexible style, and can cause a bit of an upset today.
2nd pick: #4 (Rush Now) (5-2) - The probable main-speed he tired here facing a bit weaker on Jan. 1 in his first start in eight weeks. Claimed that day by J.P. Terranova, veteran gelding should be involved from gate-to-wire.
3rd pick: #2 (Don Dulce) (7-5) - The probable heavy favorite, veteran wasn't competitive last out in the $100K "Evening Attire" stakes after missing by a neck in two straight stakes on this surface. Obvious win candidate at a very short price.
