Top pick: #3 (ROUSING SERMON) (3-1) - One of two entered by trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, he was a sharp winner here facing weaker on Oct. 3 in his first back from a two month break. He's 3-for-7 locally and I like his chances right back.
2nd pick: #2 (Summer Hit) (4-1) - The second of the Hollendorfer pair, he's 8-for-14 overall but has only raced once on real dirt. Speedy sort is working very fast at Hollywood and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Soi Phet) (5-2) - He's gone 5-4-0-1 since being claimed by Len Powell for $16K at Hollywood park in late May. Speed/stalker ran third here last out in a G1 stakes and is an obvious win candidate.
