Top pick: #4 (PURE SENSATION) (6-5) - Speedy grey colt has been sharp in every appearance (4-1-3-0) and enters off a near miss at Laurel in a $100K stakes at this distance Nov. 16. Much improved since lasix was added, this home-bred by "Zensational" is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Extrasexyhippzster) (2-1) - Mid-Atlantic shipper was an impressive maiden winner at Philadelphia Park on Nov. 5, then ran fourth at Laurel in a $100K stakes Dec. 7 in his first facing winners. Track was very "muddy" that day and he may not have cared for it. Stalker is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Oliver Zip) (6-1) - He takes a big step up in class after a sharp win when debuting at Laurel for a $50K tag on Nov. 6. Working fast since, he has the rail, and colt is in a more than capable barn (Kelly Breen).
