Top pick: #6 (CLEARLY A COWBOY) - Son of "With Distinction" lost by a neck at this level on the Santa Anita dirt going 6.5 furlongs Oct. 8. Freshened-up for the past seven weeks by trainer Mike Puype, he stretches him out in distance and moves him back to a synthetic. Working fast for this attempt and he'll race today with blinkers off after a one race experiment.
2nd pick: #4 (Sky Kingdom) - He's one of two colts entered in this contset by trainer Bob Baffert and the pair will race as separate interests. Working fast for his first start since Sept. 4, and he'll be stretching-out to a distance he was bred to love.
