Top pick: #7 (FLOAT YOUR BOAT) (3-1) - The day's Best Bet, she drops a bit in class, has a speed/stalking style, and draws a fine outside post. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Golden Rule) (2-1) - The probable favorite, filly just failed to last here at this level on Oct. 22. Well-bred, in a good barn (Tony Dutrow), and a strong win factor.
3rd pick: #6 (Dixiluna) (9-2) - On the sidelines since mid-July, she returns at a new low and her lone win came here a year ago. Don't just dismiss. She takes a drop after showing nothing in a pair facing tougher since coming off a six month break in early Oct. Can factor with her best.
