Top pick: #1 (AMERICAN PRIDE) (3-1) - Lightly-raced and speedy, he's working fast for his first since August 15th and trainer Bob Baffert is trying him around two-turns for the first time. He can take this stakes quality field from gate-to-wire.
2nd pick: #6 (Prime Issue) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he's won four in a row, three on "poly" and one on real dirt. Speed/stalker is in career best form and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (El Nino Terrible) (2-1) - Another that's lightly raced, he has speed/stalking ability and won a sprint at Del Mar last out. Dangerous with his best.
