Top pick: #2 (REPS AND WARRANTS) (8-1) - Lightly-raced gelding drops and stretches out after a pair of even efforts facing tougher in sprints. He breaks just off the rail and gets the call with a wide open finale.
2nd pick: #7 (Still Unbroken) (4-1) - Speedy sort stretches out and moves back to real dirt. Gelding ran second here at this trip Oct. 24 and is working well for this attempt.
3rd pick: #5 (Bluegrass Fox Trot) (4-1) - He runs third off a two month break, goes turf to dirt, and will be racing in a claimer for the first time. Capable barn (Troy Taylor) has him set for a big effort.
4th pick: #6 (Papa's Paisley) (5-2) - He continues to race evenly in all his starts and will be attempting a two-turn distance for the first time. Can factor, but needs to do better during the stretch run.
5th pick: #1 (Anythingtogeteven) (9-2) - He has the rail, a speed/stalking style, and Bejarano gets aboard for the first time. Fits and must be left in the mix.
