Top pick: #8 (TROUBADOR TANGO) (2-1) - Colt cuts back in distance after a poor effort on a muddy surface going a mile here Oct. 7th. He'd been showing some signs prior to that, and can break his maiden against this weak group.
2nd pick: #11 (Parsnips) (7-2) - Very lightly raced gelding has shown good early speed in his first pair, and last out tired to finish third at this tag & trip on Oct. 14th. The move off the inside is a plus, and 3yo is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Cat N West) (4-1) - Pa-bred has had a lot of chances (16-0-1-3), but fits on "figures" and has been competitive in three of his last four starts. Can impact from off the pace.
4th pick: #3 (Manhattan Train) (8-1) - Colt runs off a six week freshening, and has a new trainer (Michelle Fortebuono) this afternoon. 3yo drops to a new low, and can factor at a square price with his best.
