Top pick: #7 (ARMOR) - There are a lot of well-bred types in this one turn mile and this WinStar Farms runner will be going turf to dirt. Colt didn't show much in his debut, but most trained b Bill Mott never do. Son of "Stormy Atlantic" is working sharply and draws a nice outside post. The pick.
2nd pick: #4 (Captain Easy) - $100,000 son of "Medaglia d'Oro" had a useful "prep" for this mile attempt on Sept. 27 where he raced close up while wide and tired. Trainer Tom Albertrani brings him back quickly and his maidens always run better second-time out.
3rd pick: #3 (Security Analysis) - He's raced evenly in a pair of two-turn grass contests and trainer Teri Pompay will race him on the dirt for the first time and cut him back to one turn.
