Top pick: #4 (SILVER PRADO) - Price play races first off a Scott Lake claim and grey gelding finished a rallying third racing here for a $16K tag on Oct. 15 the day he was taken. Goes second off a two month break and he should get a solid pace to rally into. 5yo has a good shot at expected long odds.
2nd pick: #1 (Nibiru's Return) - Speedy sort is in career best shape and draws the rail. The level and distance are fine, and he's a strong win candidate from either on, or just off the lead.
3rd pick: #5 (I Wanda Win) - He's gone wire-to-wire in a pair of dirt sprints facing weaker and last out ran a career best on this surface when winning by almost six lengths Oct. 27. Claimed that day by Jennie Wilhelm for $7500, she brings him back quickly, moves him up in class, and stretches him out in distance.
4th pick: #6 (Sir Cadian) - He's very consistent (14-2-6-1) and his local mark stands at (8-1-5-0. The distance and level are fine, but he's broken slowly in his last pair and can ill afford that miscue again against a talented field.
