Top pick: #10 (MISS LECH) (3-1) - She ships down from New York wher she rallied while wide to finish 2nd on the Belmont turf going 7-furlongs in late Sep. Trainer Chad Brown has had her on the sidelines since and this newly turned 3yo should be a much bigger and better race horse. Workin well at Palm Meadows and she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Chief Dante) (15-1) - Longshot strtches out off a very wide and even trip sprinting 5-furlongs on this course Dec 21st. Well-backed that day, and daughter of "Indian Charlie" can impact at a big price.
3rd pick: #7 (Gauge) (12-1) - One of two fillies entered by Bill Mott and both will be big prices.Daughter of "War Front" showed some speed in her debut here on the dirt Dec 20th and the barn switches her to the turf and stretches her out in distance.
4th pick: #8 (Camryn's Gem) (20-1) - The second of the Mott fillies, she made up a lot of ground last out in a turf sprint after a very poor start and a wide trip. Dangerous at a big price.
