Top pick: #5 (THAT'S GIN) (8-5) - The probable favorite, grey gelding is partly owned by legendary "Hall of Fame" trainer John Nerud who is nearing his 95th birthday. This improving 2yo just failed last out racing at this tag & trip on Nov 15 and a repeat of that effort will be good enough to beat these.
2nd pick: #7 (Got a Hunch) (3-1) - Gelding has speed/stalking ability and is (3-0-1-2) since switching to the barn of Dave Cannizzo. He was only a 1/2 back of "That's Gin" on Nov 15 and has run well in both appearances since then.
3rd pick: #6 (Proud Day Indeed) (2-1) - He was "bumped" at the break and finished an even 3rd, 3 lngths back of "Hunch" on Dec 5th. Well-backed at the windows that afternoon, normal 2nd out improvement makes him a threat.
