Top pick: #7 (HUNTER JAK) (2-1) - Excellent barn (Juan Vazquez) stretches this colt back out in distance after a solid 2nd place finish in a mid-level starter-allowance going 6.5 furlongs Nov 24. Drops down for this, meets aa weak field, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Again Again Again) (8-1) - One of two entered by trainer Ramon Preciado and the pair race uncoupled. Recent maiden winner did so here with a sharp move on the far turn and is nicely spotted in his first facing winners.
3rd pick: #5 (Dollar Bill) (6-1) - No speed type finished 2nd here racing for a $7500 tag on Nov 6th in his 2nd off a two month break and was claimed that day by Ramon Preciado. New barn is deadly off the claim(31%), and improves just abouth everything. Stretch threat.
