Top pick: #9 (RIVERNESS) (5-2) - Filly has been competitive in four straight facing "open" $10K claimers and should find this group of fellow Pa-breds a bit easier. Stalker draws a nice post at this trip and she gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #5 (Great Illusion) (3-1) - She rallied to finish 2nd here going a mile facing a bit better on Oct 12. Even paced type has worked since and her connections get her a better rider and drop her in class.
3rd pick: #3 (Virtual Reality) (5-1) - 4yo has been competitive in four straight but has been beaten by "Riverness" on a regular basis. Can factor but filly needs to do better down the stretch.
4th pick: #1 (Nautical Breezes) (8-1) - Mare ran a career best when finishing a surprise 2nd here at this tag Oct 18. Favored in her latest, she was never involved while racing evenly. May grab a share, but the top two picks are more likely to win this.
