Brian Blessing's Pick's 1-11-2

Afrikaner turns back in distance today and should be absolutely flying in the closing jumps of this six furlong dash. Napravnik has been booting them home at nice prices, with these type of runners.

#6 Persistently- has a huge class edge running 2nd in both the grade I Matron and Frizette. She then finished 5 lengths behind Stardom Bound in the Breeders Cup. She made up 18 lengths last out to finish second in a sprint after checking at the start. She stretches out and will blow by these.

#4 Straightomidnight- just missed two back in against starter allowance company beating many in today's field and then was only beaten 8 lengths in a 100k stake. She should handle this easier assignment
