Top pick: #2 (DECLASSIFY) (3-5) - Undefeated (2 for 2) colt was scratched out of yesterday's "Sprint Championship" (G1) to await this easier spot. He's hit "triple digit" "figs" in both starts, and was a winner on April 6 when debuting on this surface. Kaleem Shah owned colt by "Orientate" is working extremely fast, and is the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #6 (Mile High Magic) (5-1) - He had some promise earlier in his career, but has not seen action since Jan. 12th when he was eased here in a stakes race. Speedy sort is from the same barn (Bob Baffert) as "Declassify," and is also working very fast.

3rd pick: #3 (Majestic Stride) (6-1) - Lightly raced gelding by "Trippi" was a sharp winner over weaker at Fairplex on Sept. 7th in his first race since Feb. 20th. 4yo is 4-2-1-0 overall, and each of those starts have been on conventional dirt.

4th pick: #1 (Cyclometer) (6-1) - Consistent sort has a fine local record (6-2-2-1), and is working fast for his first race since July 17. Has the rail, good "figs," and must be left in the exacta mix.
