Top pick: #1 (RED DIRT ROAD) - Wonderful veteran had a great year in 2010 going 9-5-1-0, and has been freshened up since late September by trainer Scott Lake. Eight-year-old is working fast for his return, draws the rail, and has a good shot at upsetting the heavy favorite.
2nd pick: #8 (Wicked Climb) - Ships from New York for a top barn and speedy gelding will drop in price for this attempt. Last out finished a pace-pressing third running for $35K and drops this afternoon down to $16K. Draws a good post and probable heavy favorite will be a handful in this spot.
3rd pick: #5 (Not For Money) - Races first off a claim and veteran was an easy winner that day in his best race since last summer. New barn wins at a 38% rate first off the claim, and they confidently move him up in price this afternoon.
