Top pick: #4 (JIM'S DECISION) - Colt chased a very fast pace and weakened to finish fourth of nine, beaten 4 lengths sprinting at santa Anita Oct. 30. Race was his first in 11 months and trainer Vlad Cerin brings him back quickly and stretches him out in distance. Three-year-old by "Chapel Royal" can take this at a nice price.
2nd pick: #9 (Stormberg) - $450,000 ridgling by "Storm Cat" also runs second back off a layoff and he showed some speed in his return while having some traffic issues. Three-year-old has a bullet half-mile work a week ago at Santa Anita and Bejarano is aboard for this stretch-out attempt.
3rd pick: #1 (Admission) - He's regressed in his last pair following a near miss racing at this level and distance at Del mar on July 30. Working well locally for this, colt draws the rail and should be a big price.
