Top pick: #3 (DECISIVE EDGE) (2-1) - Colt makes his West Coast debut after finishing second in four straight starts racing east of the Mississippi. Freshened up since missing by a "neck" on Aug. 15th at Saratoga, he's working well locally for his new trainer (Jerry Hollendorfer, 30% with new arrivals). The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Yes Yes Yes) (7-2) - Stalker was a bit sub par here on Oct. 2nd when he raced evenly while beaten only three lengths. He had finished second in his previous pair and is a win candidate this afternoon.
3rd pick: #9 (Wicked Finance) (6-1) - Very strong finisher is working steadily since he was beaten by a "neck' going a mile at Del Mar on Sept. 1st. The faster the pace, the better his chances.
4th pick: #7 (Pantera Rojo) (6-1) - Speed/stalker has been freshened up since an even effort from a tough outside post on June 27. Colt had gone 4-0-2-2 prior to that on the turf and is working fast for his return. Can be in this from start-to-finish.
