Top pick: #3 (GO BLACK TIE) (5-1) - He's disappointed a number of times lately but his last effort at Del mar was encouraging. He has back class, drops to a new low, and is moving back to real dirt from "poly."
2nd pick: #6 (Warren's Tyler S.) (3-1) - Colt has a fine record on conventional dirt 17-3-4-4 and the last time he raced on it he was an easy winner at Fresno Oct. 11. Stalker fits well here and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Waitwaitdonttellme) (20-1) - Longshot had some promise at one time and he raced both wide and evenly here at this level and distance Dec. 6. He moves from the 10-post to the rail and can factor at a very big price.
4th pick: #2 (Cold Bay) (20-1) - Stretch out sprinter enters in shape and may hold on for a minor award at a big price.
