Top pick: #1 (STAYING ON ) - Quality runner fom the British Isles was Group 3 placed many times in both England and Ireland and ran a strong race in his North American debut on Jan.22nd at Gulfstream. Working nicely for this and he's in the top turf band of Chris Clement. The inside draw only adds to the positives. Has a solid shot at upsetting "Stormy"
2nd pick: #5 (Get Stormy) - Turf loving son of "Stormy Atlantic" closed out his 2009 campaign with four straight wins, the last three in stakes , one each at Saratoga, Keeneland, and Churchill. Speed/stalker is working fast for his first in just over a half-year. He'd be no surprise, and I almost put him on top.
3rd pick: #6 (Pleasant Strike) - Useful veteran has finished 2nd in all three of his local starts ( all in stakes). Needs a fast/contested pace for any shot at the win.
