Top pick: #7 (HALL OF FlAME) - She finished second in a solid effort two back at this level and distance on the turf, then was virtually eliminahed last out when she was "bumped" hard at the start and forced to race wide. Home-bred by "Hook and Ladder" can take this at a nice price.
2nd pick: #8 (My Jopia) - Home-bred rallied to finish second at this level and trip at Belomnt om Sept. 14, then tired after chasing the pace while wide in a switched contest going 8.5 furlongs Oct. 5. Shortens back up today and Mr. Dominguez gets aboard for the first time.
3rd pick: #6 (Fiesta Forever) - First time starter by "Johannesburg" has a very fast half-mile work at Belmont on Oct. 29 and most of her other AM drills are above average. Under the radar trainer (Charlie Baker) may have a runner on his hands.
