Top pick: #2 (THINK I'M HOOKED) - Tries hard every time and this colt by "Hook and Ladder" just missed in a $100K sprint stakes here on the main-track Nov. 13. Has a nice work just four days ago, a flexible running style, and he draws post near the rail which is always the place to be on this inner-dirt surface. Gets the call in a competitive stakes.
2nd pick: #3 (Swag Daddy) - He broke his maiden at Belmont going 7 furlongs at Belmont in late Sept. in his first off a trainer change to Rick Dutrow, then ran evenly there in a $100K stakes in his first facing winners. Working very fast for this and he's a win candidate at a nice price.
3rd pick: #4 (Tug of War) - He's the only horse enterd with more than one win and this home-bred by "Smarty Jones" looked sharp when rallying to win a 6 furlong allowance here on Nov. 18. Bred to like this longer trip and he'll be a big price today.
