Top pick: #5 (PERKY JUDGE) - Monmouth shipper has speed stalking ability and comes here in shape off a sharp 2nd place finish on Oct 31 at this tag and trip. Lightly raced and still improving and his ability to stay close is a big plus in this field. The top pick.
2nd pick: #6 (Irish Eddie K) - He's raced evenly in his last pair on this surface, both facing tougher. Drops into a claimer this afternoon and strong finisher is a big threat to the top pick.
3rd pick: #3 (Maloof Magic) - Delaware shipper has the best speed of these and will drop slightly in price and stretch out in distance. Leading rider Carmouche climbs aboard and this expensive gelding is a threat if he clears the field early.
