Top pick: #1 (TOUR DE COMPRISE) - Since coming here from Calder in late November this Rose family home-bred has finished 2nd in both starts, the latest on Jan 15th going 7 furlongs. Has the rail, stretches-out a bit in distance, and can take this from just off the pace.
2nd pick: #5 (Dubai Time) - Well-backed in both starts at this meet, he's been very "keyed up" before going into the gate each time and trainer Derek Ryan will add blinkers while stretching him out around two-turns. Think he's a win threat.
