Top pick: #3 (J W BLUE) (5-2) - He raced evenly here facing tougher at this trip just three days ago, and is brought back quickly by leading trainer Dave Jacobson. He's won off this quick turnaround many times in the past, and this 5yo is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Political Justice) (3-1) - Speedy sort was only a 1/2 length back of "Blue" here on Nov. 21st, and has now put together solid back-to-back starts. He has veteran C.C. Lopez aboard for the first time, and the rider specializes in wire-to-wire wins. Very dangerous.
3rd pick: #5 (Say Mr. Sandman) (5-1) - Five-time winner has raced evenly in a trio of sprints at this level since coming from Finger Lakes in mid-October, and will be trying this mile trip for the first time. Price play.
4th pick: #6 (Classic R and B) (20-1) - Longshot has some back class, and comes off a very wide trip here going 6-furlongs on Nov. 2nd. No speed type has won on this surface before, and could grab a share at a big price.
