Top pick: #1a (AFLEET DEAL) - Originally part of a Jack Carava trained entry, he goes with this in shape 4yo as he drops him down to a level he's never raced at before. Speed/stalker draws a nice outside post and jockey Rosario has some "options" against this group. The top selection.
2nd pick: #7 (Cafe Con Leche) - Speedy runner from the O'Neill barn drops after a solid 3rd place finish facing first-level allowance foes here Oct.23rd. 4yo tries hard every time and is an obvious win threat at this tag.
3rd pick: #5 (My Man Sumo) - Races first off almost a 3 month layoff and runs for a new trainer (Ron Ellis). Working steadily and can factor late against this field.
