Premium Pick

Top pick: #2 (SPIT BALL) - Colt has several changes this afternoon that can lead to his maiden win. Trainer Danny Velazquez will drop him into a claimer for the first time, swich him back to the main track, and will add blinkers again after a two race absence. 3-year-old has enough talent to defeat these.

2nd pick: #5 (Suancesong) - Price play takes a big drop from $50,000 down to $20k and will be cutting back in distance. In the O'Neill barn and this gelding should show whatever talent he has in this spot.

3rd pick: #3 (Tiz Danamic) - Lightly raced and improving, he drops in price, goes turf to dirt, and shortens up in distance. In the win mix.

4th pick: #8 (Brown Boss) - Gelding stalked, bid, and held to finish third of 10 when debuting on the Golden Gate "poly" Oct. 18 racing for a $20k tag. Claimed that day by Bob Hess Jr. (17% off the claim), he brings him back quickly and switches him to conventional dirt.
