Top pick: #6 (NICO THE CHAMP) - One of two colts entered by trainer Tony Pecoraro and this runner has finished 2nd in 3 of his 4 starts. He's already run well at a longer distance then he competes at today and has the ability to pass other runners. The top pick.
2nd pick: #4 (Slick Vic) - The second of the Pecoraro runners has the best early speed and has been competitive in all but one of his 5 starts. Faces little opposition for the lead and could be very tough on the front-end.
3rd pick: #5 (Secondthat Emotion) - Races first off a late October claim and his new trainer will raise him in price and cut him back in distance. Doesn't have much speed, but has a fine local work Nov 16. Contender from off the pace.
