Top pick: #5 (AFLEET DEAL) - Speedy gelding enters this lightly raced, in shape, has the best early speed, and is at the right price tag and distance. Gelding went wire to wire here Nov 25 and takes this with a repeat of that effort.
2nd pick: #6 (Proud Cardenal) - Has some back class and veteran finished an even 3rd last out in his first ever running at this low price. Doesn't have much speed and will need to be ridden hard from start to finish in order to have any chance turning for home.
