Top pick: #7 (Lightningfastman) - California-bred finished a rallying second here last out in his best race since coming east from Golden Gate Fields last spring. In a very good barn (Jim Barker) and Parker is back for the re-ride. The top pick.
2nd pick: #8 (Deafening Silence) - Grey gelding rallied to finish third here nine days ago in his best effort since coming back from a 3 1/2 month layoff on Oct. 18. Four-year-old by "Victory Gallop" is in a sharp barn (Bob Johnston) and this Ontario-bred is a win threat.
3rd pick: #9 (Outerbamks) - He showed nothing sprinting here at this level two weeks ago trainer Genaro garcia will stretch him out around two-turns for the first time. Home-bred by "Stormy Atlantic" was away for nine months before returning in late August and needs to improve.
