Top pick: #9 (PIERCE'S PRIZE) (5-2) - Speedy colt was sharp at Saratoga in his first pair before finishing a troubled fourth at Finger Lakes in a $250K stakes Oct. 4. Freshened up since, he's working very fast and gets the addition of blinkers. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (David Rocks) (3-1) - Home bred finished a pace-setting second when debuting at this level and distance at Belmont Oct. 18. Working fast since, colt draws the rail and should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #4 (Possilicious) (4-1) - Debuting gelding has some quick works showing at Monmouth and is from a capable first out barn (Kelly Breen 19%). Veteran speed specialist C. C. Lopez is in for the mount and this home bred by "Posse" is a threat if ready.
4th pick: #3 (Hundred Percent) (10-1) - Stalker has some talent and moves back to the dirt after a poor effort here in his grass debut 12 days ago. Capable of grabbing a share at a big price.
