Top pick: #2 (BOBBY ZAPPER) - Zayat Stable home-bred has missed narrowly in both California outings racing on "poly" surfaces and has been shipped cross-country by her former trainer (Bob Baffert) to run on real dirt. Strong finisher is now with Rudy Rodriguez (26% with new arrivals) and daughter of "Ghostzapper" has worked five times on this surface. Can take this with a late run.
2nd pick: #8 (It's Saturday Night) - Speed/stalker missed by a head at Belmont on Sept. 21 at this level and distance and is training very fast for this attempt. She draws outside of the other speed types and that will give rider Joel Rosario some early options.
3rd pick: #3 (Glorious View) - She showed nothing going a mile in the Belmont mud on Oct. 4, but she'd finished second in three straight sprints prior to that. Trainer Bill Mott cuts her back in distance and filly is another who is working fast.
