Top pick: #7 (PERSONALITARY) - Speedy sort stretches-out and goes dirt to "poly" in this spot. He's improved since joining the Carava barn in late August and gelding comes off a sharp 3rd place finish at this price going 6.5 furlongs at Santa Anita on Oct. 28. The top pick in a contentious meet opener.
2nd pick: #4 (Sidepocket Kid) - Price play made a wide bid last out and weakened slightly in the last furlong to finish a close up fourth. Improving, in a capable barn, and a threat at square odds.
3rd pick: #8 (Mucho Bravo) - Runs third off a seven-week freshening and this gelding probably should have won last out when finishing third at Santa Anita. He had some traffic issues and wasn't beaten much.
