Top pick: #6 (HEAVENLY EXECUTIVE) - He just missed in his local debut racing for $15K on Sept. 25, then finished an even third last out at the same price in a very tough field for the price. The successful barn of Bob Johnston drops him down to the local bottom this evening and this 3yo is the top pick.
2nd pick: #4 (Lighting Ray) - Gelding by "Trippi" has raced well in both starts since coming here from Ellis Park and in his latest, 5-year-old finished second at this price and trip on Oct. 14. Contends again this evening.
3rd pick: #9 (Gotta Love Jackpot) - Hoosier Park shipper cuts-back in distance for this off a series of two-turn races in Indiana. Races off a big trainer change to Genaro Garcia and that's a 25% winning angle.
