Top pick: #5 (MUCHO BUENOS) - Grey gelding was well-bet when debuting at Del Mar on Sept. 2 for $50K and raced evely to check-in sixth of 12, beaten 4 lengths. Claimed that afternoon by Mike Puype he has him working very fast here and this 2-year-old by "Macho Uno" can take this at a nice price.
2nd pick: #6 (Shy Humor) - Trainer Vann Belvoir won yesterday's finale making him 4-for-10 at this meet. This $58K son of "Sharp Humor" is working very fast for his debut, including a bullet half-mile here (best of 52) just five days ago. Barn wins at a solid 28% rate first out and this New York-bred is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Adonis D N A) - Colt by "Unbridled's Song" stalked and weakemed in his well-bte debut here on Oct. 1 and trainer Doug O'Neill drops him into a claimer and adds blinkers as he brings him back in three weeks. In the mix.
