Top pick: #3 (SANDY'S DIAMOND) (7-2) - Veteran gelding pressed a fast pace while wide and leveled off to finish third here at this level and distance on Oct. 27th. It was his first start in 70 days, and he should move forward off of it. He gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #7 (My T Quick) (5-2) - Another battle hardened veteran, he ships in from Golden Gate Fields, and is racing for a new trainer (Mike Chambers 30% with new arrivals). He's switching from a "poly" surface to real dirt and has gone 12-2-3-5 on it in the past.

3rd pick: #5 (Grant) (5-1) - One of two entered by trainer Bill Brashears, and the pair race uncoupled. Very fast from the gate, he has a fine year going 12-3-1-3. He's dropping slightly, moving from grass to dirt, and shortening up in distance.

4th pick: #1 (Quick Cielo) (2-1) - He's won two in a row at this meet, but is facing a much tougher group this afternoon. Stalker fits on "figures," draws the rail, and is in the barn of leading trainer Bob Diodoro. Must be left in the mix, but at a short price.
