Top pick: #8 (HONESTLY OCCIFER) (2-1) - Lightly raced gelding raced evenly while wide here in his local debut Nov. 17th. He takes a big drop in class, draws a nice outside post at this 6.5-furlong trip, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Wise Boss) (3-1) - Grey gelding just missed here at this level going 5.5-furlongs on Nov. 19th in his best since racing at Del Mar this summer. Barn (Molly Pearson) is better than it's 2013 record, and this 3yo is a win candidate in a weak field.
3rd pick: #7 (You Make Me Blue) (9-2) - He missed by a "neck" two back at this level, but was never involved in his latest. Capable of impacting, and he draws well.
4th pick: #2 (Streamofsteam) (8-1) - Recent maiden winner did so here Nov. 18th in his second start back from a 5 1/2 month layoff. Has speed, is in a good barn (Angel Silva), and still has room for upside.
