Top pick: #3 (SWEET AS YOU ARE) - Filly stretches-out in distance after winning a 7-furlong race on a sloppy track facing cheaper. Four-year-old has faced better most of her career and she has more speed than most entered. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Burning Calories) - Veteran mare is (6-2-2-1) since being claimed by trainer Patty Farro for $5000 in July at Monmouth. She tracked, bid, and settled for second here Nov. 22 at this level and distance and is a factor with a repeat of that effort.
