Top pick: #2 (OBSESS ) - Very consistent gelding just missed last out at this level and distance in his first effort facing winners. Lightly raced 3yo is still improving and has a bullet work here Dec 2. He catches a field without much early speed and can take this group wire to wire.
2nd pick: #5 (Rents Paid) - Lightly raced gelding drops into a straight claimer today after an even effort last out at this distance facing slightly tougher. Has a sharp work here Dec 12 and 3yo runs with a strong trainer/rider combination of Hollendorfer/Bejarano that wins at a 28% rate when teamed together.
