Top pick: #2 (WON WON OH FIVE) - Trainer Craig Dollase usually does well at this meet and he brings this colt back from Golden Gate Fields where he ran evenly last out facing special weights on the turf. Barn drops him into a claimer, moves him to real dirt, and son of "Lawyer Ron" is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Cheezy Breezy) - He's been competitive a number of times in the past at this tag and just missed last winter in a pair on real dirt at Santa Anita. Gelding returns to that surface for the first time since March 4th and is a threat.
3rd pick: #5 (Unusual Mystery) - Lightly-raced gelding chased and tired at Del Mar going a mile on August 25th his first in two months. Good small barn (Phil D'Amato) brings him back quickly and will run him on real dirt for the first time.
4th pick: #10 (Anabaa Premium) - One of a pair entered by trainer Leandro Mora (Doug O'Neill's assistant) and the two maidens race uncoupled. This 4-year-old has his price cut in half and will be stretching-out in distance.
