Top pick: #5 (SUNSHINE COFFEE) - Sharp last out in his maiden win and first start for trainer Bill Hedus. Broke running and easily went wire-to-wire. Eligible for more improvement and he draws outside of the other speed.
2nd pick: #3 (Any Which Way) - Nice race on October 5, returning from a seven-month layoff. Dropped into a claimer that day for the first time, he was involved in a pace duel thru swift fractions and although beaten, he held down the place. He's had over a month to recover and need only repeat it to be a win factor.
3rd pick: #1 (Obscurity) - Tough call. He hasn't shown anything since his maiden win in June. Drops to a career low and draws the rail. If he has anything left, he'll show it today.
