Top pick: #8 (WOLGAN VALLEY) - Gelding has run well in both starts since returning from a year's layoff in Sept. Strong finisher has some back class and has been given a 6 week rest since just missing at Turf Paradise in a turf sprint. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Arresting Officer) - The probable favorite finished third here facing tougher just 10 days ago and is dropped to a new low in price as this meet comes to an end. Win candidate, and I almost made him the top choice.
3rd pick: #1 (His Boy Elroy) - He hasn't raced in 28 months, but is in a good barn (Mike Puype 19% with long range returnees). Working fast, and if ready, he's a stretch threat against these.
