Top pick: #4 (THREE FOR TWO) - Gelding hasn't seen action since Sept. 14 when he raced wide at Belmont when facing fellow New York-breds for a $50K claiming tag. Trainer Derek Ryan has worked him four times at Monmouth since then, the lates a sharp half-mile drill from the gate Oct. 27. Barn will add lasix, stretch him out in distance, and drop him down.
2nd pick: #2 (Brody Boy) - He raced wide and tired at Laurel going 7 furlongs at this level two weeks ago, but had been sharp in three prior efforts there at or around this trip. Gelding has a new trainer today (Ron Dandy) and this new arival to his barn should be involved from start to finish.
