Top pick: #4 (MO CUISLE) - Mare has had tough posts in her last pair and raced wide and evenly in both while finishing within range. 6yo Pa-bred draws a better slot, Parker "keeps the faith", and she's the choice in tonight's finale.
2nd pick: #8 (Hope Affirmed) - Freshened up since Sep 17th, mare tired last out in her first off a Gary Welsh claim and had been in very sharp form all year prior to that outing. She has back class and will be extremely tough with her best.
3rd pick: #7 (Cliffy's Dynagirl) - Speed/stalker faces others who may want the top, so her ability to rate a bit will come in handy. Nice to see Houghton on the re-ride and this 5yo should be a big price.
