Top pick: #8 (BLUESKIESNRAINBOWS) - Colt by "English Channel" has been freshened-up for the past seven weeks by the Baffert barn and is working fast locally for his return. Runs with a tag for the first time, goes turf to "poly," and Baffert's main rider (Marty Garcia) is back aboard. The top pick.
2nd pick: #4 (Solana Soleil) - Colt has fine early speed and drops back down to a price he finished second at racing at Santa Anita in late Sept. Bejarano, who was aboard that afternoon, is back aloft after a one race absence.
3rd pick: #2 (I Feel Free) - He ran a bit "rank" last out here from a tough post but in his previous race he finished second at this price at Santa Anita. Look for a competitive effort this afternoon.
4th pick: #3 (Sky Larkin) - Working fast for his first start since May and trainer Bob Diodoro will drop him into a claimer off the long layoff. Don't just dismiss.
