Top pick: #4 (GUYFROMTHESKYFIVE) (2-1) - The probable favorite, he rallied from close range to finish second when debuting at this level at Santa Anita on Sept. 27th. Can take this with normal second out improvement.
2nd pick: #7 (Cornbread Red) (10-1) - Longshot was away slowly in his debut and recovered to race close up to a solid pace before tiring. He's worked twice since, and trainer Phil D'Amato (18% second time out) brings him back quickly and adds blinkers.
3rd pick: #2 (Roper) (5-2) - He has the field's best "figures' and comes off an even and troubled start Oct. 18th at Santa Anita. Heavily bet in three straight appearances and must be left in the win mix.
4th pick: #1 (Sonic Fever) (5-1) - Gelding has some speed and is breaking from the rail. Bet in both outings, he was very sharp in his debut, then had a wide trip from a bad post in his latest. Contends in this spot.
