Top pick: #3 (ZOMBYSLAYERMRDARCY) - Has the best early speed, drops slightly, races second back off a two month break, is working fast, and has his blinkers removed for this. The top selection.
2nd pick: #6 (Double D's Diamond) - Colt raced evenly in his debut here Oct. 14 and he was a bit wide that day. Great second-out barn (Mike Mitchell 35%) also adds blinkers (30%). Those two starts are hard to ignore. Strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (What's The Rumpus) - Has good early speed and draws the rail. In the O'Neill barn and he names another apprentice, so presume that he'll be sent hard from the start. Can contend if he were to clear.
