Top pick: #4 (FABS) (4-1) - Mare has raced evenly in a pair of sprints when facing tougher since coming off a four month layoff in late Sept. Excellent small barn (Dan Lopez) drops her to a new low and stretches her out in distance. Jersey bred has some back class on these and can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #1 (Mystical Rain) (7-2) - Much improved in her last pair, stalker was a winner here at this tag and trip on Oct. 9 as she cleared the 21 condition. It was a career best overall and the successful barn of Patty Farro has her nicely spotted.
3rd pick: #7 (Queen Bee Teresa) (5-2) - The main speed, veteran stretches out after tiring in a 7-furlong contest Oct. 21. It was her first start in four months Daughter of "Sightseeking" has done well at this distance in the past 12-1-8-0 and is a win candidate.
4th pick: #3 (Sunflare) (6-1) - She has the best recent figures of this group, but all have come on the grass. Stalker has never won on the dirt but is in a crafty barn (Scott Lake) and can factor at a square price.
