Top pick: #8 (BEANIE PANTS) (8-1) - Price play is lightly raced, well-bred, and she tired last out to finish a distant fourth in a contest common to several others. In a good barn (Scott Gelner), he's worked her twice since and has her making back-to-back starts for the first time.
2nd pick: #2 (Tee Jolie) (9-2) - Daughter of "Scat Daddy" has gone 6-0-3-2 racing on the dirt and has finished third in both local attempts. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Freaky Deelites) (5-2) - She finished an even fourth here when facing $20K "open" company maidens last out and will move back in with state-bred special weights. In shape and a major player with her best.
4th pick: #6 (Gibson Halo) (2-1) - Speedy 4-year-old has finished second in two straight, the latest coming here at this level and distance on Nov. 2. She should be involved every step, but will be a short price and holds no real advantage.
