Top pick: #1 (S C REDSLEGACY) - Debuting colt is in a good first out barn (Chris Hartman 20%) and he has this 3-year-old drilling sharply for his initial outing. The barn's local go-to rider (Chris Landeros) is aboard and the trainer/jockey combo wins at a 25% clip when teamed up.
2nd pick: #5 (Wister) - Nice effort last out saw him involved in a serious pace-duel through fast fractions after breaking from an outside post. Gelding held gamely until the last 1/16th when he tired to finish a close up fourth. 3-year-old draws a better starting slot and will shorten up a furlong.
3rd pick: #6 (Slew Slew Who) - He exits the same Oct. 10 contest as "Wister" and like that foe he was part of a spirited front end battle while checking in two lengths dehind that rival. Trainer Boyd Cater will add blinkers for the first time.
