Top pick: #4 (BOREALIS WAY) - The probable favorite finished 2nd at Del Mar when debutin on Sep.7th. The "figure" earned towers above those that have started and trainer Mike Puype has this son of "Bertrando" working fast for this. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #12 (Smoking Ben) - He took some betting action when debuting at Hollywood on May 21st and raced wide and evenly that afternoon. Working nicely for this, he's bred for the turf, andit's always good to see Rosario aloft.
3rd pick: #13 (Stone Hot) - He need a scratch in the main-body to compete and if in would be a stretch threat. Gelding rallied to finish 5th here going longer on Oct.13th in his first ever on the grass. Threat if he goes.
4th pick: #1 (Archie's Way) - Heavily bet in his debut here on Sep.30th he ran "rank" and had some early traffic issues. Claimed that day by Mark Glatt for $20K he has him working fast and will move him to the turf. Has the inside post and Valenzuela gets aboard. "Live" longshot.
