Top pick: #3 (SLAPSHOT MAN) (4-1) - One of two entered by trainer Doug O'Neill, colt tired facing tougher when debuting on the Del Mar "poly" Aug. 20. Drops down, moves to the dirt, and he's worked twice since. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #5 (Cloudy River) (4-1) - Colt raced evenly while finishing third here when debuting at this tag and trip Sept. 5. Bet down to favoritism that afternoon and $110K April purchase is an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #6 (Papa Kade) (9-2) - The second of the O'Neill pair he raced evenly after a troubled start and was almost three back of "Cloudy River" that afternoon. It was his first in four months and is making back-to-back starts for the first time.

4th pick: #2 (Mr Kindle Fire) (5-1) - One of four debuting youngsters, he's in a winning barn (Chuck Treece) and is working well local for his first start. Colt will sneak away at a square price this afternoon.
