Top pick: #9 (DAWLEY) (3-1) - Consistent hard-hitter stretches out to a mile and draws a nice outside post. One-run stalker was a winner here on Nov 1st going 7-furlongs and is the choice to take another.
2nd pick: #6 (Frazil) (3-1) - Wonderful old-timer has won 14-of-33 overall, is 2-for-4 on this surface, and has gone 5-2-0-1 at this diatnce. Speed/stalker is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Point Taken) (5-2) - He stretches back out after a fourth-place finish going 6-furlongs at this level at Belmont Oct. 11. He liks this distance (5-2-2-1) and has run well on this surface in the past.
4th pick: #8 (Itsagoodtendollars) (8-1) - Speedy veteran runs first off a Jeremiah Englehart claim (19%) and he had this to work a bullet half-mile on Nov. 4. This is his favorite distance (15-2-5-5), and he should be involved from start-to-finish.
