Top pick: #1 (TALE BE TOLD) (5-2) - Gelding draws the rail and is dropping in class and moving from turf to dirt. In the barn of leading trainer Bob Diodoro, this 5-year-old has gone 11-1-3-3 on conventional dirt in the past and enters off a good effort here on the lawn Oct. 27. He gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #5 (Listen You Fool) (7-2) - He rallied to finish second here at this level and distance Oct. 31. Stalker has been at this 3l condition a long time but fits with his best.

3rd pick: #7 (Candy Sweetheart) (8-1) - He's gone 7-1-1-3 since mid-June and last out here tired after setting a pressured pace to finish third, 3 1/2 lengths back of "Listed You Fool." Speed/stalker fits with his best.

4th pick: #2 (Murmansk) (3-1) - Nicely bred 4-year-old was an easy 14-length wire-to-wire winner here at this price and trip Oct. 26. He's now two for two locally and runs fresh off a claim by Barry Hodgson. Anything near that last performance and figure could see him taking another.

5th pick: #6 (Inviting Roman) (12-1) - Lightly-raced 3-year-old gelding hasn't raced wince late Sep at Emerald Downs. Speedy sort had won two of his last four there and could factor if ready.
