Top pick: #9 (PHYSICAL DELIVERY) - She showed an improved effort last out when finishing 5th of 12, beaten just over 4 lengths sprinting on the Belmont grass Oct. 28 facing special weights. Trainer Chad Brown drops her into a claimer, switches her to the dirt, and adds blinkers. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (La Bella Chabella) - She ships back from Philly Park where she set a pressured pace and held to finish second when facing "open" company at this tag. Improving sort ran well at Belmont when debuting on Oct. 3 and her early speed makes her a win candidate.
3rd pick: #10 (Eyes of Midas) - Nice debut here Nov. 4 saw her battle for the lead while racing three wide and tire in the final furlong to finish third. Trainer Gary Gullo brings her back in just under four weeks and he wins at a 25% rate second time out.
4th pick: #5 (Aunt Tipsy) - Filly moves up in price after finishing second when facing "open" $16K maidens here two weeks ago. Race was run in very slow time and she needs to do better this afternoon.
