Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (HURTA) - Veteran showed some zip last out before weakening late to finish fourth in a small field racing for $7500. Effort was his best since coming back from a two month vacation in Sept. and he drops to the local bottom ($5000) for the first time. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #2 (Son of Tiger) - Races first off a Mike Reavis claim (a 20% winning angle) and he's freshened up this veteran gelding for almost two months. Has a fine local record and enough speed to stay close to Hurta early. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (Quiet Revolution) - Gelding finished an even fourth at this price and trip Oct, 22 and has been freshened-up for the past six weeks. Six-year-old has a bullet half-mile work on Nov. 18 that suggests that the brief vacation has done him some good. Stretch threat.
