Top pick: #5 (WHERE'S THE REMOTE) (7-2) - He raced evenly after a "stumbling" start here facing a bit tougher on Dec. 4. Race was his first since late July, and the leading trainer at this meet (Bob Diodoro), brings him back quickly and drops him down a bit. The top pick
2nd pick: #1 (Michael the Man) (8-5) - The probable favorite, ten-time winner has been freshened up since Sept. 13 when she raced both wide and evenly at this tag at Golden Gate Fields. Veteran is working nicely for his return, draws the rail, and has won on this course in the past.
3rd pick: #2 (Lesson in Deceit) (5-2) - Speedy gelding was a winner here at this price on Oct. 22, then tired last out facing tougher. Drops, Stevens stays put, and this 7-year-old should be involved from start-to-finish.
