Top pick: #5 (DUBAI DANCER) - Lightly raced daughter of "A.P.Indy" has won three in a row and has fine early speed which is the route to s success going 9 furlongs here. She won a small stakes at Monmouth on Oct. 31st and is still improving. Think she can beat the presumed favorite.
2nd pick: #8 (No Such Word) - The probable heavy favorite has had an excellent season (9-5-1-1 $460K) and has won stakes at 4 different tracks. Working fast, she's a fresh horse, and the distance is not a problem. She's an obvious win candidate and would be no surprise.
3rd pick: #1 (Awesome Maria) - Has the rail and will go turf to dirt for the Pletcher barn. She had some real promise going into this season but has not quite lived up to it. Lightly raced, working steadily, and it's rare to get Pletcher at a nice price. Contender.
