Top pick: #1 (CUNEO) (3-1) - Grey gelding has rallied to finish third in both starts at this meet. He draws the rail, is from the leading trainer here (Bob Diodoro), and looks set for a big race.
2nd pick: #7 (Tax Enough) (7-2) - Stalker has gone 3-1-1-1 at this meet and last out finished second at this level while a length better than "Cuneo." Well bred gelding draws outside of the speed and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Busta Twist) (5-1) - Freshened up since Oct. 17 4-year-old gets a big trainer upgrade to Mike Chambers (28% with new arrivals). Colorado bred is working fast for the new barn and is a threat at a square price.
4th pick: #4 (Short Odds) (6-1) - Stretch runner finished second here at this level Oct. 26 then was hampered by a poor start in his latest. Grey gelding fits with his best.
