Top pick: #6 (TONY BLUE EYES) (8-5) - He comes into this off an even 3rd place finish facing tougher and trainer Ray Moya will drop him to a new low in price. Stalker draws a nice post for his style and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Sure Got It) (5-2) - He's one of two entered by trainer Ed Auwarter and the pair race uncoupled. He runs 2nd back off a 7 week freshening and in is return effort he tired after chasing the pace against slightly better.
3rd pick: #3 (Marquet Dancer) (5-1) - The 2nd of the Auwarter duo, he has 7 failures at this level since clearing the 3l condition in early Sep and a minor award looks like his ceiling.
