Top pick: #7 (DECARCHY FEVER) - Price play goes turf to dirt, shortens-up in distance, and drops in price. Has good early speed and can win this on the front-end.
2nd pick: #4 (October Road) - Debuting gelding by "Buckstrider" is in a good barn (Jacque Guerra) and three-year-old has some nice drills heading into his first start. Win factor if he runs to them.
3rd pick: #1 (Sense of Occasion) - Gelding raced evenly last January when debuting for $25K at Santa Anita and has a nice drill here Oct. 15 for his return. Runs off a barn switch to Leonard Espinoza and gelding by "Formal Gold" is a threat if ready.
