Top pick: #8 (CERTAINLY CERTAIN) - California shipper races off a 7 week break and will have a trainer change to Kim Veerhusen. Gelding ran well on the Fairplex dirt Sept 15 and then tired at Hollywood on the all weather surface Oct 22. Speed/stalker draws a good post for his style and can win this in his first local start.
2nd pick: #2 (Baby Face Assassin) - Improving colt will drop down in price and shorten up in distance after finishing 2nd here going a mile 16 days ago racing for $8K. In a good barn and win threat on the cut-back in distance.
3rd pick: #3 (Colonial Plan) - Raced evenly in his debut to finish 3rd at this tag going 5 furlongs and he did so despite a poor start. Barn stretches him out in distance and adds lasix for this attempt. He should improve in his 2nd outing.
