Top pick: #3 (DUGAN BILL) (3-1) - He made a nice middle move last out and did so while wide after breaking from a tough outside post. Veteran draws a better post, meets a weak field, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (C C's Diamond) (9-5) - Gelding raced evenly after a "troubled" start here facing tougher on Oct. 28th. It was his first back off a 7-week break, and he has plenty of back class to call upon. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Jims Midnight Slew) (5-2) - Speedy veteran set a pressured pace before tiring to finish third here at this tag & trip Nov. 1st. It was his first off a three month break, and his early foot makes him dangerous.
4th pick: #1 (Prime Speed) (20-1) - Longshot stretches out in distance after an even effort here at this tag going 6.5-furlongs on Oct. 27th. It was his first off a two month freshening, and he's back quickly at his favorite distance (17-4-1-3). May grab a share at a big price.
