Top pick: #1 (WHATEVERITTAKES) - Speedy gelding draws the rail and he's run well over this surface in the past. Speed and the inside post is a deadly combination on this inner surface and this 3yo should be able to take this field from start to finish.
2nd pick: #7 (Smooth Transition) - Defeated the top pick last out by saving ground and passing him late for the place spot. Probable favorite and obvious contender he has enough speed to stay close and make a race of it turning for home.
3rd pick: #4 (Goodbyeandgoodluck) - Not far off the top pair in his last start and he's won on this surface in the past. Racing back into shape following a pair of layoffs his latest effort was his best in over a year and he has a nice work Nov 27 heading into this.
