Top pick: #3 (XIXIXI) (6-5) - The probable favorite, Zayat home-bred come off a solid second place finish here at this tag & trip on Nov. 2nd. It was a nice move forward off his debut, and a repeat of it takes this.
2nd pick: #2 (Eye Luv Lulu) (4-1) - New York-bred tired after chasing the pace of a 'long gone" winner when debuting Oct. 23rd at Belmont, and will drop into an "open" $50K claimer. Gelding has a pair of quick recent half-mile breezes, and should be a square price.
3rd pick: #1 (Holyicious) (5-2) - Grey son of "Holy Bull" goes turf to dirt after checking-in third of nine, beaten 1 1/2 lengths when debuting in a grass sprint at this tag on Nov. 2nd at the Meadowlands. Dennis Drazin home-bred has the rail, and trainer Kelly Breen has won with nine of 21 second time maidens over the past year.
