Top pick: #2 (SWEET SWAY) (2-1) - Grey filly gets a big trainer upgrade to Rick Dutrow (22% with new arrivals) and he worked her four times during Dec. on this surface. New connections drop her into a claimer and daughter of "freud" has shown good eary speed in four starts facing tougher.
2nd pick: #6 (Acrobactic Tactic) (3-1) - Another who has shown speed facing better company and trainer Chris Englehart will drop her into a claimer and has Cornelio Velasquez back aboard after a one race absence. The trainer/jockey combo is a solid one, 21% over the past year.
3rd pick: #9 (Dee Dee's Comet) (6-1) - Nice effort here last out saw her stay close early, swing out turning for home, and rally to finish second of 10, beaten 2 lengths at odds of 37-1 racing at this tag and trip Dec. 15. A repeat of it makes her dangerous.
