Top pick: #3 (BROWN IS BEIGE) (2-1) - Mare has back class to call upon, and has the best early speed of this small field. Claimed in early October at Hastings Park by Bob Diodoro for $8K, he's freshened her up since and has her training fast. She's done well here before (2-1-1-0), and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Inner Groove) (8-5) - The main danger, she drops slightly after finishing second here for a $12.5K tag Nov. 10th. Veteran mare likes it here (5-1-2-1), and looks like the only one who can beat "Beige."
3rd pick: #2 (Smil'n From Above) (4-1) - She's been looking for her second win for a very long time, and has gone 11-0-2-5 on this surface in the past. 5yo can get a share of this, but "Beige" & "Groove" are better win candidates.
