Top pick: #2 (MR. FIUME) (4-1) - He stretches back out in distance after a wide trip that saw him finish 3rd here at this tag going 7 furlongs Nov 25th. High percentage barn brings him back quickly and he draws just off the rail. Like his chances.
2nd pick: #8 (Peter's Legend) (2-1) - Speedy gelding is improving and trainer Jennie Wilhelm will stretch him out around two turns. They drop him slightly in price, he looks all set for a big race, and I almost made him the top pick.
3rd pick: #9 (Tulley) (7-2) - He draws a tough outside post but runs 3rd back off almost an 8 week freshening and he ran well when finishing 4th at this tag and distance Nov 19. Major player if he can avoid a wide journey.
