Top pick: #3 (RAVEN'S TALE) - The probable favorite, he was part of a well-bet entry when debuting on Nov 2 and rallied to finish 3rd of 10, beaten three lengths racing at this tag. Good 2nd out barn (Steve Klesaris 26%) sends him an extra furlong today and that should be in his favor.
2nd pick: #6 (Liberty Wing) - He's one of two entered by trainer Tony Dutrow and the pair race uncoupled. Colt by "Bernstein" runs 3rd back off a two month break, goes turf to dirt, shortens up in distance, and barn drops him into a claimer for the first time.
3rd pick: #7 (Coco Knows) - Speedy sort is improving and draws a nice post to "gun" from. He set the pace and tired to finish 3rd last out at this level and will take them as far as he can.
