Top pick: #2 (FREUD'S NOTEBOOK) - She ran a big race Oct. 28 at Belmont finishing second, going a one-turn mile racing for $20000. The effort was one of her best ever and came second off a claim by Gary Sciacca. She loves this inner surface (3-2-1-0), and Dominguez is aboard for the third straight time. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Silver Chest) - Claimed last out at Calder by trainer Sandino Hernandez for $10K, this veteran mare was an easy winner that day and is 8-for-34 overall. One-run type fits on "figures," and is 4-for-7 at this distance. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Mordecai Jones) - Drops a bit in price and goes turf-to-dirt in her second start off a trainer switch to Carlos Martin. She's (5-1-2-0) on dirt and that win came at Belmont on Oct. 5 racing for $10k.
