Stalker is taking a big drop in class and is shortening up in distance. Five-year-old breezed a bullet five furlongs on the local dirt Nov. 27 and can beat these with his best.
2nd pick: #3 (El Alazan) (6-1) - Price play drops in his third start back of a 2.5 month vacation. He's raced evenly in both return starts here facing tougher and should factor at this reduced level.
3rd pick: #4 (Provable) (6-1) - State bred has finished second here in two straight at this level. He has more early speed than most and should have a good spot turning for home. Stretch threat.
4th pick: #1 (Guyfromtheskyfive) (9-2) - Speedy 4-year-old rallied to win here at this tag Nov. 5. He cleared the 2l condition that day and tired late in his follow up start facing tougher Nov. 20. Drops, has the rail, and his early speed should have him involved through-out.
