Top pick: #3 (RUSTLER HUSTLER) - East Coast shipper is in the barn of Rick Dutrow and jockey Ramon Dominguez makes the cross country trip for the mount. Talented colt is working fast at Gulfstream for his first start since Oct. 31st when he rallied from far back to win a grass stakes at Belmont. The top pick.
2nd pick: #6 (Clubhouse Ride) - He moves back to a synthetic surface after a 3rd place finish last out on the dirt in the "Delta Downs Jackpot"(G3). Has a fast work since coming back here, so he seems none the worse for wear. Can be a strong factor at a square price.
3rd pick: #2 (J.P's Gusto) - He returns here from Churchill after a troubled trip there in the "Breeder's Cup Juvenile". Likes this surface (4-2-1-0) and is working fast since shipping back. Contender.
