Top pick: #6 (MACHO COACH) - He raced at Gulfstream Park six days ago and showed nothing in a mile race on the dirt. He was virtually eliminated at the break and trainer Jim DiVito sends him here on a quick turnaround. Has the best grass form and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Another Sammy) - Speedy colt runs second off a three month break and he showed good speed facing beter before tiring badly in his return run. Think he'll be much sharper today.
3rd pick: #5 (Captain Nightcap) - Bred for the grass, this gelding by "El Corredor" broke his maiden on the dirt here last out going 5 furlongs. He was competitive in early Dec. on the Gulfstream turf and think he will be again in this spot.
