Top pick: #3 (STREETS OF HEAVEN) - Consistent runner just missed last out at this level in his best race since coming back from a 4 1/2 month layoff in late August. He likes this surface (7-3-1-0) and trainer Jorge Periban has given him a nice local drill since his near miss Oct. 17. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Bad Boy) - Logical contender is very consistent and has picked-up his game again since he was re-claimed by Julio Canani on August 13 at Del Mar. Very tough again today on his favorite footing (14-5-1-2).
3rd pick: #7 (Bandeira Union) - Runs second back off almost a two month break and he wasn't beaten much last out in the same race as the top two selections here. Draws outside of those two rivals and stalker should have a clear shot if good enough.
