Top pick: #6 (WELL YA NEVER KNOW) (5-1) - Grey gelding chased and weakened here at this tag Oct. 27. It was his first since Sept. 10 and he was claimed that day by Bob Diodoro. New barn wins at a 29% first off the claim and this 4-year-old by the mighty "Skip Away" has a shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #3 (Lee Creek) (7-2) - Old timer rallied to finish second here on Oct. 19. It was his first ever at this tag and ran his local record to 12-2-3-3. Six-year-old Arkie-bred has back class on these and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Langston) (5-1) - Speedy sort drops in his second off a claim. He was a winner at Fresno in his previous race and his early speed must be respected.
4th pick: #7 (El Bronco) (8-1) - Veteran likes it here 16-4-3-2and tired here at this tag Oct. 28. It was his first start since May 2, and he probably needed the race. Can contend at long odds.
