Top pick: #10 (RULER'S VISION) - Very nice debut run at Saratoga, saw him break from the inside in a large field (11), race in heavy traffic, and rally wide to finish a distant third in one of the major "key" maiden races at the Spa. Ready to win.
2nd pick: #12 (Maestro and Master) - $650,000 son of "Smarty Jones" did well to finish fourth in his debut on Nov. 1, at Churchill. He was bumped early, sent into the pace and leveled off late. Lasix is added today and he draws a nice post for the distance.
3rd pick: #5 (Prospective Love) - Son of "Not For Love" has been bet heavily in each of his starts and has finished third in both, one each on turf and dirt. He has three strong drills on this surface, and is a big player.
4th pick: #4 (Tiger Tracks) - Mike Tabor/Todd Pletcher first timer is by "Storm Cat" and has been working steadily, and in many drills swiftly, for his debut. This is a tough distance for a firster, but he still must be considered.
