Top pick: #2 (COO CAHOO) - Veteran had a half-dozen career victories with the rest of those running totalling nine. He's winless in four grass starts, but is in shape right now and comes off an impressive win on the Santa Anita dirt on Oct 21st and owner/trainer Blake Heap has him nicely spotted in this starter-allowance.
2nd pick: #6 (Guest Star) - Beautifully bred colt moves up to face winners for the first time following a sharp looking maiden win going 6.5 furlongs on the downhill turf course at Santa Anita on Oct 19th. Only his 2nd back off an 11 month layoff, and trainer John Shirreffs has this promising son of "Storm Cat" training fast and well spotted.
