Top pick: #3 (CHRISANDLORISPOSSE) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he's improving and last out missed by a neck racing on the main-track here going a "flat' mile at this level on Dec 3rd. Trainer Jimmy Jerkens has worked him three times since and this newly turned 3yo draws the rail. Speed/stalker is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Night Editor) (5-1) - Home-bred finished 2nd at this level in an "off the turf" contest on Dec 8th in his first start off a private trainer change to Rick Dutrow. He's worked him on this surface three times since and Dominguez gets aboard for this attempt.
3rd pick: #2 (Ghostly Vision) (2-1) - He's part of a Dom Schettino trained entry with #2b "Cielo Soleggiato" and that colt is drawn way out on the also-eligible list and probably won't get to run. This son of "Ghostzapper" was well-backed when debuting here in a sprint on Dec 15 and finished 3rd after a wide trip. Working fast since and he's in the small win mix.
5th pick: #8 (Can't Catch Me Now) (15-1) - Colt has some ability, runs 3rd back off a 2 1/2 month layoff, and trainer Gary Gullo will stretch him out around two-turns for the first time. A small slice at a big price is possible.
