Top pick: #6 (ENNIS ) - Speedy gelding likes to win (8-5-0-1) and did just that at Hawthorne Nov. 5 in his first start off a Dale Bennett claim. Freshened up for the past two months, this grey three-year-old has a pair of impressive local works leading up to this attempt.
2nd pick: #7 (Teton Star) - West Virginia invader has an excellent record on real dirt (8-3-1-3) and he's working very fast locally for his first start since Oct 25. Nicely spotted by a very good barn and this gelding is a major player if he brings his best.
