(# 3) EL BANDIDO ROJO - The best early speed and the best figures. Claimed last out by Steve Dimauro, colt has a pair of big works since the buy in early August.

(# 5) Pascual - Last was very impressive. Running style should translate well to this seven-furlong distance.

(# 1) Alex's Notebook - Solid runner, has a good post and is improving in his figures. Impressive record at the distance (4-1-2-0) should not be overlooked.

(# 6) King Anthony - Possibility, if things break right for him, that he could round out the trifecta at a good price.
