Top pick: #7 (LANDONMAV) (4-1) - One of two entered by Mike Chambers, and the pair race uncoupled. He was an easy winner here at this trip facing weaker on Nov. 1st to clear the 23l condition, and moves up in class this afternoon. In shape, speedy, and I like his chances.
2nd pick: #2 (Popular Name) (3-1) - The second of the Chamber's duo, gelding runs first off a claim (33%), and enters in career best shape. Speed/stalker has a fine record racing on dirt (26-4-6-7), with many of those coming on this surface.
3rd pick: #1 (Quail Hill) (7-2) - From the barn of leading trainer Bob Diodoro, gelding was a "game" winner here at this tag & trip on Nov. 6th, and is back in for following a 2 1/2 month break during the summer. He has back class, a flexible style, and draws the rail.
4th pick: #6 (Beer Meister) (5-2) - No speed type drops in class and moves from turf to dirt for this attempt. His local record on the dirt is outstanding (7-3-3-1), and gelding is an obvious win candidate at a short price.
