Top pick: #15 (SUANCESONG) - Also-eligible scratches in and last out was only beaten 3 lengths last out racing at this tag at Santa Anita. One-run type draws a nice outside post and can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #5 (Marv) - The probable favorite, he has the best early speed and is (3-0-1-2) since returning from a year's layoff in early Sept. 3-year-old from the Mullin's barn will be involved every step. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #14 (Bull Time) - He's regressed since being claimed away from Bob Hess Jr. and will get the addition of blinkers in this spot. Draws well and is in the win mix against this crew.
4th pick: #12 (Monster Hit) - He takes the big drop into claimers for the first time and will be cutting back in distance and going dirt to "poly." Colt hasn't shown much, but the drop should help.
