Top pick: #3 (SULTRYSILVER) - The main-speed sh'e lightly raced, improving, and in a good barn (Bruce Levine). She just failed to last at this level and distance Nov. 11th when she was run down by a repeating filly. 3yr.old can go wire-to-wire in this spot.
2nd pick: #4 (Spoleto) - Another who's lightly raced, improving, and in a good barn (Kiaran McLaughlin). She broke her maiden at Belmont Oct. 8th and has been working fast at Monmouth for her first facing winners. Big threat.
3rd pick: #2 (Northern Warrior) - Filly drops from a steady diet of state-bred allowances into a $25,000 "open" claimer. Has some late kick and this field will have several totally spent turning for home. Can reach the same race exotics.
