Top pick: #4 (JACK REACHER) - Price play has been freshened-up by trainer Bill Spawr and has worked six times on this surface since Sept. 12. Has speed/stalking ability and his best race ever came on this strip March 25. Veteran trainer is off to a good start here and this gelding can take this at a nice price.
2nd pick: #3 (Indian Knight) - $120,000 gelding by "Indian Charlie" is working fast at Hollywood Park for trainer Bob Baffter as 3-year-old races off a 7 week freshening. Has some speed and should be involved from start to finish.
3rd pick: #5 (Lord Vronsky) - He showed immediate improvement when swithed to barn of Mike Mitchell when he finished 3rd at this level and distance at Del mar on Sept. 7. Drops into a claimer for only the second time and this stalker should get a solid pace to rally into.
