Top pick: #4 (DANZING TRIBAL) - Since being claimed by Bob Diodoro a little over a year ago, this gelding has won 5-of-8 starts and became a stakes winner at Turf paradise last December. Freshened-up since early August after a hard-fought win at Northlands Park, he's training fast for this and is the top selection.
2nd pick: #1 (Paseo de Ramon) - Very fast from the gate, he just missed here at this tag and trip on Sept. 9 in his first off a Kelly Castaneda claim. Race was one of his best ever and he's a win candidate on the front-end.
