Top pick: #2 (DEJEUNER EXCESS) - Lightly-raced gelding finished second here Oct. 1 at this level going 6 furlongs and race was his first for trainer Forrest Frazier and first ever on this surface. Shortens up a bit for this and if he repeats his latest he should win this.
2nd pick: #4 (Be The Worm) - Golden Gate shipper has shown good speed in both starts on their "poly" surface. Goes from one good barn (Steve Sherman) to another (Ed Moger Jr.) and if he brings his form to this main track he's a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Just Jimmy J) - Lightly-raced gelding has his problems as his career is loaded with different types of layoffs. Showed some speed last out at Albuquerque in his first race in a year and if he repeats it could be a danger here.
