Top pick: #3 (GRAVITY STORM) - Races off a re-claim by trainer Karl Berger and he had some success with this gelding the first time around. Speed/stalker races 2nd back off a 2 1/2 month break and 3yr.old broke his maiden on this surface. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Smackover Prospect) - The probable favorite finished a pace-setting 2nd here at this level and distance on Nov. 6th. Lightly raced and he has the best early speed. He'd be no surprise and should be viewed as the equal of the top pick.
3rd pick: #10 (Tablerock) - He has some speed and exits the same race as "Smackover". He was only a length off of that rival at the finish but draws a tough post tonight. Can contend if he breaks running.
