Top pick: #4 (TRUSTING HEART) - Daughter of "Lion Heart" debuted in the slop last May and finished 3rd to a pair of talented fillies ( "Silent Valor" and "Rapid Redux"). Sent in for a long rest, she returned on Oct 8th on the grass and and it had the look of a much needed "prep" race. She's worked 3 times since, moves to the dirt and drops into a claimer. The choice for the win.
2nd pick: #8 (Higher Place) - Excellent speed shown in her debut on Oct 6th at the Meadowlands. Son of "Trippi" drops into a claimer for a barn (Steve Asmussen) that excels 2nd time out (22%).
3rd pick: #1 (Braciole) - This trainer (Patrick Reynolds) likes to give them a start before asking them for their best. $205,000 daughter of "Not For Love" showed some speed in her debut which came on the turf. Makes her 2nd start, drops in for a tag and draws the rail. Good price is expected.
