Top pick: #4 (MENSA HEAT) (6-5) - The probable favorite, veteran has gone 4-1-2-1 racing at this $8000 claiming tag. He's been beaten under a length in his last pair and the figures earned in each tower over this group. Much the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Dekko) (4-1) - Argentine-bred gelding has lost to "Mensa" the last three times they've met but is capable of completing the exacta with just a slight move forward.
3rd pick: #6 (Electrolyte) (2-1) - Golden Gate invader races first off a Steve Miyadi claim and will be switching from the "Tapeta" surface there to conventional dirt. Colt broke his maiden on the Fresno dirt in early October and hasn't raced on the real thing since. This will be his first ever going two-turns.
