Top pick: #3 (SCALE) - Has the best last race when he missed by a "neck" Oct. 10 at this level and distance at Belmont. Working fine since and he has a recency edge on a pair of talented runners coming off of layoffs. The top pick.
2nd pick: #5 (Bwana Jake) - Speed, but he obviously has some physical issues. Runs second back off a year's layoff and he showed some speed in his come-backer.
3rd pick: #4 (Digger Karakorum) - Cheaper gelding finished second in a $12.5K claimer last out to a runner (Run to Grand Ave.) who won here again yesterday. Can factor at a big price.
