Top pick: #1 (TOTAL TALENT) (5-2) - Lightly-raced filly was a winner here at this level going 6-furlongs on Nov. 8. It was his second off an 11-month layoff and first off a Ramon Preciado claim. Speed stalker has the rail and is the choice to take another.
2nd pick: #5 (Sweet Emster) (7-2) - She ships back from Penn National where she tired there facing tougher Oct. 29. Filly had won two of three here prior to that and is a win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #2 (First Sensation) (6-1) - Grey filly ships from Aqueduct where she won there on a sloppy surface on Nov. 6 facing $16K 3l claimers. Stalker makes her Philly debut and is a threat from close range.
4th pick: #6 (Legomyborrego) (10-1) - Consistent sort has gone 12-3-2-6 racing on conventional dirt and enters with two in a row here at Philly Park. Three-year-old has a flexible style and can factor despite moving up in class.
5th pick: #7 (Golden Rule) (12-1) - She has back class on these but enters off a pair of sub par efforts. Mare fits with her best and will be a square price.
