Top pick: #5 (GUY CODE) (3-1) - Speedy gelding is working fast for his first since tiring badly on the Santa Anita dirt on Oct. 5th. He was much sharper in a pair here during the summer and is dropping into a claimer for the first time.
2nd pick: #1 (Guyfromtheskyfive) (9-5) - The probable heavy favorite has finished second in both career starts. Both of those were at this level, one each on dirt and "poly." He has by far the best "figures" of those that have run and is a very strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Dudley Studley) (5-1) - One of three making their debuts, son of "Benchmark" has the best works of that trio, and trainer Dan Hendricks is capable first out (15%).
