Top pick: #5 (RHYTHM IN MAY) - Gelding has raced well in a pair of starst since coming here from Calder in early August and races today fresh off a Mike Mitchell claim (a 33% winning angle). Three-year-old by "Sarava" has the best early speed and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Gatheratthealter) - Also goes fresh off a claim by Dave Hoffmans. Lightly raced, competitive (7-3-1-2), and he has the rail and some positional speed. Dangerous rival.
3rd pick: #4 (Graeme Crackerjack) - He's been racing evenly of late and last out finished fourth of nine at santa Anita Oct. 30. Barn brings him back quickly and he has a sharp local work on the Oct. 10. Can factor at a nice price.
