Top pick: #1 (LAKE BRILLIANT) (7-5) - He races first off a Karl Broberg claim (28%) and this colt by "Friend's Lake" has by far the best form of those that have raced. Speed/stalker has the rail and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Buster Brahms) (3-1) - Speedy gelding set a pressured pace and tired late to finish fourth here at this tag and trip on Nov. 15. Draws well and should be invonved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #6 (Corner Store) (4-1) - He's another with a bit of early speed and comes into this off a pair of third place finishes at this tag where he was involved until the final 1/8th before tiring. In the mix.
4th pick: #3 (Robin's Sport) (15-1) - Longshot enters off a pair of even efforts on this strip and they came off an eight week vacation. Gelding can grab a share at a big price as he runs with blinkers back on for the first time since June 15.
