Top pick: #4 (THE FOURTH ESTATE) - He has a fine local record (6-1-3-1) and finished second here at this mile distance on Oct. 28 racing for $15K. Stalker moves up in class but catches a field with a lot of question marks. Three-year-old can take this at a nice price.
2nd pick: #8 (Steph's Sonset) - Another moving up in class after finishing second here just eight days ago running for $10K. Effort came in his first off a claim and this 4-year-old gelding always comes to run. Dangerous rival.
3rd pick: #9 (No Rain No Rainbow) - Recent maiden winner did so by almost 14 lengths here on a muddy track facing special weights on Oct. 21. Race was his first locally, and although he moves way up this evening, he must be left in the mix.
