Top pick: #6 (PANTHER'S CLAW) - Runs first off a claim by John Sadler (a 39% winning angle) and this gelding by "Quiet American" will be trying winners for the first time. Working fast for this and there's lots of potential pace to set up his stretch run. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (My T Quick) - Lightly raced 5-year-old is one of two entered here by trainer Brian Koriner and the pair will race uncoupled. He finished second last out at Santa Anita racing for $12.5K in his best effort since returning from a 26 month layoff in July. Stalker is working fast for this and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Gregor) - Runs off almost a two-month freshening and a trainer change to Mike Machowsky. Grey gelding is trying a two-turn trip today and is working very fast for this attempt.
