Top pick: #1 (RACETRACK JACK) - Gelding by "E Dubai" finished second sprinting in his debut last summer on the Canterbury dirt, then showed speed in a pir of turf starts before tiring in each. On the shelf since Sep. 10 he runs in a career soft spot, draws the rail, and is in a good barn (Mclean Robertson). The top pick.
2nd pick: #11 (Bruddah) - Makes his first local appearance after racing at Philly Park and will also geta a new trainer (Ron Moquette). Gelding has a "bullet" drill on the Jan. 28 and looks set for a big effort.
3rd pick: #9 (Nervy ) - He raced evenly here on the 17th to finish fifth of 10 but he still improved his overall "figure". Should run well at a square price.
4th pick: #5 (Maumelle) - Expensive ($140,000) disappointment from the Lukas barn improved last out and has a fast work since. Player at a nice price.
