Top pick: #1 (WILDWOOD GOLD) - Filly loves the local surface (15-7-1-1) and was an easy winner here Oct. 20 at this price tag in her second back off a 7 week layoff. That race is by far the best last out of any entered here and a repeat of it gives her another win.
2nd pick: #4 (Afleet Ashley) - Has a good season going (7-2-2-2) and last out finished a distant second to Wildwood Gold. In a good barn (Jamie Ness) and a contender, but needs to pick it up to challenge for the win.
3rd pick: #6 (Verdant) - Hoosier shipper drops down to $5K for the first time after stalking and tiring last out in Indiana facing tougher. In a good barn and trainer Tom Trione names Chris Emigh today, so he must like her chances.
