Top pick: #5 (A CLEVER TEN) - Speed/stalker finished second on November 21 at this level in her first start for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer. Effort continued an improving pattern for her and is the best any of these has run. The top selection.
2nd pick: #2 (Bewitched Again) - Barn (Doug O'Neill) has been hot this week and he won with a fresh claim the other day. This filly was claimed on November 20 for $25,000 out of her maiden win and runs back three weeks later where they can't lose her. Tough opponent.
