Top pick: #2 (EVOLUTION ROCKS) (2-1) - Speedball ships in from Monmouth in career best shape and is nicely spotted by trainer Alex Martinez (asst. for the Navarro barn). Working fast, he draws just off the rail and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Six Peaces) (3-1) - Hard-hitter always comes to run and since mid-June has gone 6-3-3-0 and last out was beaten a head here at this level on Sept. 24. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Awesome Arceno) (8-1) - Price play was only a length back of "Peaces" last out and his stalking stytle should plat well in this spot.
4th pick: #8 (Prospero) (9-2) - He ran a career best when winning here for a $25K tag on Sept. 23 to clear the 3l condition. Score came first off a Hugh McMahon claim and gelding fits if his latest "figure" is repeatable
5th pick: #9 (Steve's Adventures) (8-1) - Well-bred gelding pressed a fast pace and tired badly in the same Sept. 24 contest as both "Peaces" and "Arceno." Capable of impacting with his best.
