Top pick: #7 (ROGUE RIVER) - Veteran absolutely loves this surface (11-6-3-2) and was an easy winner at this tag and trip on Nov. 13. Latest saw him finish an even third racing for $5000 and trainer Angel Silva drops him back down. Stalker has all the speed in the gate to his left and that's to his advantage. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Warren's Jack V) - Re-claimed by trainer Tracie Aker in early Oct, he's (2-1-1-0) since then and was an impressive winner last out at this price facing 1Y foes. Has back class and is a threat right back.
3rd pick: #1 (Boulder Creek) - He rallied to prevail as a heavy favorite here on Nov. 21 facing $10K foes to clear the 3l condition. Faces tougher today, but his barn has smatrly droped him down in price.
