Top pick: #1 (FRANK N' TEDDY) (5-2) - Mare hasn't visited the winner's circle this year, but has been very competitive in most of her starts (10-0-5-2). She just missed here at this level on Oct. 20th and moves from an outside post to the rail.
2nd pick: #2 (Courtroom Kiss) (2-1) - She exits the same Oct. 20th contest as "Frank n' Teddy" and closed to check in fourth. Positive effort came in her third back from almost a year's layoff, and she was claimed that day for this $3500 tag. Daughter of "Lawyer Ron" has plenty of back class and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Katie's Song) (10-1) - Old timer tired badly here going a mile at this level Oct. 28th. It was her first back from a pair of layoffs, and a winning barn (Jeff Metz) brings her back quickly and shortens her up in distance.
4th pick: #6 (Quack Up) (8-1) - Mare ran evenly here at this tag Oct. 20th in her first race in one year. She put four wins in a row together in 2013 and could factor if she returns to that form.
