Top pick: #5 (CHRISANDLORISPOSSE) (6-1) - Colt is one of two entered by trainer Jimmy Jerkens and the pair race uncoupled. He did well last out facing similar on the local turf and did so after breaking from an almost impossible post (12th of 12). Race was his first off a seven week freshening and he's brought back quickly and moves to the main track. Home-bred by "Posse" can take this at a square price.

2nd pick: #4 (Gulltopper) (3-1) - He was competitive in his first three outings (all "switched" from turf to dirt), then was eased here after fighting the rider in a grass contest on Nov. 14. The second of the Jimmy Jerkens pair, he has him working nicely and moves him back to the dirt.

3rd pick: #3 (Alcolite) (2-1) - He just missed (a neck) sprinting here for a $50K tag Nov. 17 and Jena Antonucci will move him up in class and stretch him out in distance. Trainer has done well at this meet (4 for 15) from her small barn and this son of "Hook and Ladder" can factor in this spot.
