Top pick: #4 (CALICO MOUNTAIN) - Gelding runs 3rd off an 8 month layoff and he's shown fine early speed in both of his return starts. Moves off the rail and last out chased a heavy favorite and eventual 8 length wire to wire winner before tiring in mid-stretch. Can take this group from start to finish.
2nd pick: #2 (Oasis of Chance) - The probable favorite ships in from Monmouth where he finished a wide 3rd facing "open" $10K maidens on Sep.2nd. Race was his first in almost 4 months and first off a positive trainer change to Jay Servis. Faces fellow state-breds today and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Calgary Enforcer) - Lightly raced gelding by the spped stallion "Two Punch" has some early foot and last out finished 4th of 11 at Saratoga on a very sloppy track and did so while racing wide. Drops slightly, Dominguez is back aboard, and this 3yo is a win candidate.
