Top pick: #7 (TAELYNS PRINCE) (5-2) - Gelding by turf champ "English Channel" has finished second in both starts, one going 5-furlongs, and the other travelling a mile. Freshened up since late July, he's working nicely, and stalker is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #11 (Global View) (3-1) - Son of top European stallion "Galileo" cost $500K, and has been freshened up since rallying to finish fourth when debuting at Del Mar in late July. Bred for the turf, and he's been working sharply of late.
3rd pick: #9 (Bourne Hot) (4-1) - Speedy colt shortens up a bit after weakening in three straight going a mile. Working fast, Bejarano stays put, and colt must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #2 (Distillery) (8-1) - Calder invader runs first off a trainer change to Mike Puype (27% with new arrivals), and colt by "Dixie Union" raced evenly in his dirt debut in late August.
5th pick: #8 (Relative Time) (10-1) - One of two debuting runners from trainer Julio Canani, and this son of "Einstein" is bred for the grass. Working fast and a threat if ready.
