Top pick: #2 (CREMA D'ORO) - Mare rocketed from an outside post here Nov. 30 and was never threatened on her way to a wire to wire six length score. Well-bred with some back class, she's the horse to beat today.
2nd pick: #3 (Cranberry Queen) - Daughter of "Lemon Drop Kid" won easily at Finger Lakes Nov. 11 in her first off a trainer switch to Chris Englehart. Working nicely in New York for this and she's the main danger.
3rd pick: #5 (Listentothewindblo) - Stretch-out sprinter comes back in 17 days for her second start following a 17 month layoff. In a good barn (Mike Trombetta) and she had some promise earlier in her career.
