Top pick: #7 (JUNIOR OFFICER) (8-5) - The probable favorite, he runs third off a three month break and improved considerably last out when he rallied strongly to finish third here at this tag and trip. In the barn of Dave Jacobson and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Lost Decade) (7-2) - Claimed in late October by Jamie Ness for $25K, he returns today for $15,000 and will move from turf to dirt. Barn has him working fast and he draws the rail. Dangerous on the front end.
3rd pick: #3 (Little Dale) (6-1) - He was scratched yesterday to await this spot. Capable speed/stalker finished third last out here at this tag and looks to be the second best early speed and that gives him a shot at a square price.
