Top pick: #6 (NEBIKON) (7-2) - Veteran gelding has a speed/stalking style and was a winner here at this tag and trip on Dec. 7. He always comes to run and can take this from on, or just off the lead.
2nd pick: #3 (Concorde's Peace) (4-1) - He's won three in a row here, the latest posting a career best figure on Dec. 28. He loves this track (8-5-2-0) and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Calvados) (5-2) - He has a lot of back class on these and is dropping into a career soft spot. The post and distance are fine, and he's a strong win candidate and the probable favorite.
4th pick: #2 (Dapper Devil) (6-1) - He tired last out in a rather poor effort, but in his previous start he was only three lengths back of "Nebikon." May get a minor awrad at a square price.
