Top pick: #1 (MAST TRACK) - All of the late Bob Frankel's horses have been winning (it's sort of a bit spooky) and this synthetic's specialist has been training nicely for this his first race since early October. Speed/stalker draws the rail and is the choice for the win.
2nd pick: #4 (Neko Bay) - Very lightly raced (11-4-5-0) son of "Giant's Causeway" makes only his third start of '09 and stalker should be set to bring to the table whatever he has this afternoon. He defeated the top pick by a length in early October at Santa Anita.
