Top pick: #3 (BERNING CARBS) - She looked sharp when going wire to wire in her maiden win on the main-track here going a one-turn mile on Nov 11. Lightly raced, well-bred, improving, and she doesn't need the lead to race competitively.
2nd pick: #6 (My Jopia) - She's also coming off her maiden win and this home-bred is another wh has run well from both on and off the top. Daughter of "Utopia" can be involved from start to finish.
3rd pick: #7 (Lenders Way) - Filly by "Hook and Ladder" has finished 3rd in two straight New York-bred stakes and this stalker is another trying a longer trip for the first time. Improving, but she was well back of "Carbs" when they met at saratoga.
