Top pick: #10 (TATERTWISTER) - Consistent gelding races first off a Ken McReynolds claim (25%) and he'll be cutting him back to a sprint for the first time since January. 4-year-old has faced tougher most of his career and last out at Fresno he ran third going a mile. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #6 (Seven Torrents) - Speedy gelding ships from Emeral Downs where he showed excellent early speed while going winless in five starts this year facing better. Trainer Frank Lucarelli drops him to a new low and this rare Oregon bred is a win candidate on the front end.

3rd pick: #1 (Heroi Do Bafra) - Old timer is nearing his 10th birthday but still brings a good game and has gone (9-2-3-3) this year. One-run type hasn't run since July 15th but he loves this surface (15-4-4-3) and is (7-2-2-1) at this distance.

4th pick: #2 (Trouble Rules) - He was never involved here when facing tougher, going two-turns on the grass on Oct. 12, but in his previuos start he finished a fast closing second at Alburquerque on Aug. 31. He needs a fast/and or contested pace for any shot at the toip prize.
