Top pick: #1 (SOLID RUSH) - Runs for the high-percentage barn of Bill Cowans and this gelding by "Consolidator" has rallied from far back to finish second in his first two starts (both sprinting). Has the rail and Cowans wins at a 22% rtae on the stretch-out angle. He can run these down late.
2nd pick: #2 (Skippy Dude) - Hawthorne invader was competitive in his first three outings and last out lost all chance when he "swerved out" at the break. Has some speed and should be involved from start to finish at a nice price.
3rd pick: #5 (Dance Action) - He's improving and last out rallied to finish fourth of seven, beaten 7 lengths facing special weights at this trip on a muddy track on Oct. 21. Parker gets aboard for the first time and this colt is a win candidate.
