Top pick: #4 (SAN DARINO) - Prolific winner (8-for-19) had a five race winning streak stopped here last out when he finished second to the much classier "Lime Rock Revenge". Race was also a bit beyond his capabilities distance wise and trainer Phil Oviedo will cut him back to 4 furlongs this afternoon. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Cabo San Lucas) - Very speedy gelding was an easy and impressive maiden victor on Sept. 4 at "Los Al" when he coasted home by 6 lengths while "geared down" late. In his previous start he ran second against quarter horses, so you know he's plenty fast. Draws a nice post to "gun" from and is a win candidate.
