Top pick: #12 (AMERICA RISING) (7-2) - One of two entered by Brian Koriner and gelding finished a pace-setting third at this level. That was his first in blinkers and was his second off a long layoff. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #14 (Burlister) (9-2) - Lightly-raced grey colt by "Malibu Moon" raced evenly last out in his first in 17 months and he drops down for this attempt. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #11 (Indygo Andy) (6-1) - Colt raced evenly after a poor start when debuting on Sept. 2 and is training well for this. Drops and can factor with an alert beginning.
4th pick: #13 (Starry Shark) (15-1) - The second of the Koriner pair, he runs off a 2 1/2 month break and is training well and will race with blinkers on.
5th pick: #4 (Arctic Warrior) (8-1) - Lightly raced, he showed good speed last out when dropped to this tag and can pick up a share at a square price with a bit of improvement.
