Top pick: #2 (UNUSUAL MYSTERY) (5-2) - Gelding was a sharp winner here at this tag and trip Oct. 29 to clear the 2l condition. Win came first off a Dan McFarland claim and I likes this Cal.-breds chances right back.
2nd pick: #1 (Entry of 1-Classical Hy & 1a-Sky Fox) (2-1) - Both halves of this Angel Silva entry have a solid shot, with "Fox" probably the better of the pair. We'll take either half, or preferably both as our second choice.
3rd pick: #3 (Cavanagh Bay) (8-1) - Speed/stalker chased and weakened late to finish fourth here at this trip on Oct. 29. That was his local debut and he can factor with minimal improvement this afternoon.
4th pick: #8 (Guns and Religion) (8-1) - Barn cuts this veteran back in distance after he chased a fast pace and tired late to finish third here going a mile on Nov. 1. He draws a nice outside post annd can factor at a square price.
