Top pick: #1 (WARRIOR'S RIDGE) (3-1) - Well bred 5-year-old finished a close up third here at this level going 6.5-furlongs on Nov. 21. It was his first in almost 10-weeks and first ever at this claiming price. Stalker is brought back in eight days, cuts back a bit in distance, and has the rail.
2nd pick: #2 (Takeit Tothe Limit) (5-2) - The main speed of those that have raced, he enters off a career best hen he set a pressured pace and held down the place spot racing here at this tag and trip Nov. 8. It was his first off a seven week break and he's a strong win candidate on the front end.
3rd pick: #3 (Badasmywifeletsmebe) (5-1) - He exits the same last race as "Takeit To the Limit" and tired to finish third almost 7-lengths back of that rival. A solid effort and he should grab a share of this at a square price.
4th pick: #5 (Exponentially) (20-1) - Longshot tired following a troubled break here in his latest. Speed/stalker was almost 5-lengths back of "Takeit To the Limit" three back and could grab share at a big price.
