Top pick: #1 (EXTRA FUSE) - Veteran mare likes the surface (10-1-4-2) and until recently spent her entire career facing tougher. Dropped to this price here on Dec 9th, she was an easy winner that day, and last out finished 2nd from a tough outside post at this level. Moves to the tail and stalker is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Pristeen Queen) - Mare finished 4 lengths back of "Fuse" last out and had some traffic issues that day in her first race since mid-August in western Canada. Fits nicely with these and this grey 5yo is 5 for 10 on this surface.
3rd pick: #7 (Exclusive Woman) - She rallied mildly to finish 4th here racing for $10K Dec 23rd and her connections will drop her down to run for $5000 for the initial time. Stretch threat.
