Top pick: #6 (GOTTCHA MY DEAR) (10-1) - Long time maiden missed by a neck here at this tag on Oct. 7, but raced very poorly in his latest. Stalker fits nicely, and this field is weaker thatn he faced last out. Can take this at a big price.
2nd pick: #5 (Quite a Vengeance) (9-5) - The probable favorite, he missed by a neck at Laurel on Oct. 26 when racing for a $14K tag. That was a career best and Carmouche is signed on for this 3-year-old's Philly debut. Strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (If I Win Thelotto) (20-1) - He's shown some improvement in his last pair and has a bit of speed while breaking from the rail. Can impact at a very big price.
4th pick: #8 (Fake Dreams) (3-1) - Lightly-raced gelding takes a big drop and moves out of the fine barn of Graham Motion after some disappointing efforts. Blinkers go on and New Jersey-bred should be competitive, but at a short price.
