Top pick: #2 (OBSESS) - Very consistent veteran enters this in sharp form at Santa Anita and he's always loved this surface (7-3-2-0). Stalker fits nicely with this crew as there's a lot of speed types signed on that will set-up his stretch run. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (L.A. Weekend) - Lightly raced and very quick from the gate, he's working very fast at santa Anita for his first race since late August at Del Mar. He's won here before and is the speed of the speed.
3rd pick: #3 (Clinton) - Another who's quick when the gate opens and he broke his maiden on this surface a year ago. Working fast for this, he's making his third start back off a long absence and will be making back-to-back starts for the first time in a year.
