Top pick: #13 (FLYPEGASUSFLY) - Very speedy and lightly-raced gelding by "Bandini" stalked, bid, and tired late to finish fourth here as the favorite racing at this level going 6 furlongs on Oct. 11. 3-year-old has a bullet half-mile breeze on Oct. 28 and he draws a fine outside post at today's 6.5 furlong trip.
2nd pick: #5 (Just Dude) - Another with fine early speed, he's taking a big drop in price and two back he finished a pace-setting second here racing for a $420K tag. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Crafty Talent) - Lightly-raced and improving, he rated, bid, made the front and tired in the last 1/16th to finish second here at this level going a furlong shorter Oct. 26. Has the rail and is a major factor.
4th pick: #8 (Last Salute) - He raced evenly before tiring here Oct. 26 when debuting from the rail in a large field (12) in a contest common to several others. He moves off the inside and trainer Jerry Caldwell wins at a 24% rate second time out.
