Top pick: #2 (JOHN'S SHARP HUMOR) - Gelding was heavily bet in his debut at Hawthorne Nov 4 and showed excellent early speed that day facing special weights. Freshened up for the past 7 weeks, trainer Jamie Ness drops him way down in price and 2yo has a nice local work after shipping here. The top pick.
2nd pick: #8 (Mymikeyboy) - Has some talent and closing ability, but he's broken slowly in all 4 of his starts and can not afford to make that same mistake in this spot. Stretch threat if he breaks cleanly.
3rd pick: #6 (Kitchenman) - Heavily bet in all three of his starts, this colt has run well from both on and off the pace and races today off a 70 day break and with a drop in claiming price. Working fine and a contender if he brings his best off the rest.
