Premium Pick

Top pick: #8 (LADY DURLYN) - Veteran mare is 12-for-48 overall and is 9-4-1-1 on this aurface. Last out at Hoosier Park on Oct. 27 she raced evenly facing much tougher and trainer Joe Davis has her nicely spotted in this starter-allowance. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #1 (Katy Lied) - Very consistent mare (22-8-2-4) has the best closing kick of this group and draws a post from which she can save ground before launching her rally. Stretch threat.

3rd pick: #2 (Norma's Dream) - Daughter of "Awesome Again" is clearly the main speed and ships back from Hoosier Park where she was a wire-to-wire winnier at this level on Oct. 11 going 7.5 furlongs. 4-year-old has won three of her last five overall, breaks near the rail, and is a threat on the front end.
