Top pick: #5 (LAST MINUTE ROSE) - Monmouth shipper just failed to hold on there on Nov 6 racing for this price. Race was her first back off almost a 14 month layoff and a top barn (Jayson Servis) has given her 24 days to recover. Filly has worked twice at Belmont since that come-backer and she's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Union Victory) - She debuted Nov 16 for trainer Linda Rice barn and finished 2nd on a muddy surface racing for $25K. Claimed that afternoon by Patty Farro she brings her back in two weeks and "bumps" her price up to $50K. Obvious contender if she holds her form.
3rd pick: #2 (Siberian Wildcat) - She's been freshened-up since finishing a non-threatening 3rd at this price and distance Oct 14 at Belmont. Filly has some ability and the rail (which is usually good on this surface) is her's for the taking.
