Top pick: #4 (BIG SUR) (5-1) - Consistent gelding stretches back out after he rallied while wide in a large field (11) to finish third here at this level Nov. 25. There is a lot of early speed entered, and if all go this gelding by "Malibu Moon" can run them down turning for home.
2nd pick: #6 (Flying Zealous) (2-1) - He's gone against all the norms as he's lightly raced and he's almost 6-years-old and is just getting started. Speed/stalker was a convincing winner here going 6.5 furlongs facing a bit weaker Nov. 19 and trainer Pete Kazamias will stretch him out in distance for the first time. Obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Eternal Flight) (7-2) - Very consistent gelding (9-2-5-0) was an impressive winner here at this distance and level Nov. 20 and this professional speed/stalker is a big threat if he repeats the effort.
