Top pick: #3 (VITE TRIBAL REIGN) (8-5) - Cal. bred has already run twice at this young meet and has finished second in both. Speed/stalker is in shape, meets a weak field, and should break his maiden in this spot.
2nd pick: #2 (Delta Bravo) (5-2) - His lack of early speed is a problem, but he enters off a rallying fourth-place finish here at this trip Oct. 18. It was a career best and came off a two month vacation. Factors today.
3rd pick: #7 (Come on Dude) (15-1) - "Dude" ships in from Los Alamitos where he finished a pace-setting fourth there on Oct. 26. It was by far a career best effort, and in this weak field he can grab a share at a square price.
