Top pick: #8 (QUIXSAND) - State-bred moves up in class this afternoon after defeating $20K "open" claimers on Oct.28 racing at this mile distance at Belmont Park. Effort was the best in her 10 race career and trainer Mike Hushion has her razor sharp rigt now. Daughter of "Say Florida Sandy" is the choice in a competitive contest.
2nd pick: #6 (Miss Tequila) - Trainer Chris Englehart has freshened-up this daughter of "Chief Seattle" for the past two months following a pair of back to back wins at Finger Lakes facing cheaper. Speedy, consistent, and she's 2 for 3 on "off" tracks if that's the case.
3rd pick: #7 (Pretty Cozzy) - Races first off a Dom Galluscio claim (a 21% winning angle) and this mare by "Broken Vow" has a fine year going (9-3-1-2). She's won from both on and off the lead and is (5-1-2-0) on "wet" tracks.
