CHURCHILL NOV. 17

1: Fanfest to win and with Miss Meha in a box.

2: 99 $5000 claimers in the gate. To hell with it.

3: Hot chalk: Coach Jimmy Lee.

4: MSW turf scramble sure to bring up a longshot. Minimum bet 5-1.

5: Catalano claimed and raised Princess BG, a move at which he excels. She took over in the early stretch last time despite trouble at the gate and a 4-wide trip. Butane, mud winner last, also worth a look.

6: Weekend Gambler with Vicarian underneath.

7: Even from a bad post, Diverse is the hot chalk.

8: Flip a coin. Mr. Nightlinger, City Number, Elite Squadron, Dominguin, Art and Soul. That's five real contenders, meaning 5/1 minimum odds. But upon 2nd look, Mr. Nightlinger is the choice.

9: Bobby Frankel is 0/9 in the last two years with Argentina, and so drops him into a grade 3. I'd take him to place, and in a box with Criminologist, who's probably going to be the low-price favorite.

10: Cielo Song may win despite the trainer. Mama's Lil Mon and Chief Export are just as likely.
