Top pick: #3 (WARREN'S DR. YANG) - Very speedy gelding raced "rank" last out as he opened up a 10 length lead before tiring to finish third. Goes today with a new jockey and with blinkers off. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Graeme Crackerjack) - He ran a career best when rallying from far back to finish second here at this price and distance Nov. 17. Gelding has a fast work since and is a win candidate from off the pace.
3rd pick: #7 (The Hint is On) - He's been at this 2l condition forever, but has finished second in all four local starts on this surface. Strong finisher must be considered a major player in this spot.
