Top pick: #6 (ROUSING SERMON) (5-2) - He's been sharp in both dirt races since coming off a two month break in early Oct. He tries hard every time, and has done some fine work on this surface (7-1-3-2). The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Cyclometer) (2-1) - The probable favorite, very speedy Headley home-bred comes off a career best when winning on Nov. 7th at Santa Anita. He's won here before, and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Luckarac) (12-1) - Longshot has a great overall record (38-12-6-6), and has gone 6-1-2-2 locally. Working fast, he draws a nice post at this rarely run distance, and is a threat at a big price.
4th pick: #7 (Maybe Tuesday) (12-1) - He races for the first time since early Oct., and will be going turf to "poly." Working nicely, and he's gone 3-1-2-0 on synthetic surfaces in the past. May grab a small slice at a big price.
