Top pick: #4 (LOOKN WILD) (3-1) - He enters this small starter-stakes with four wins in a row, and is working very fast locally for his first since a Bob Diodoro claim (15%) on Sept. 7th at Fairplex. Speed-ball is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Tapadero) (2-1) - Veteran ships from Emerald Downs in shape, and since early July, has gone 5-1-3-0 racing in the Northwest. Old-timer likes this surface (22-6-7-3), and is a win candidate this afternoon.
3rd pick: #2 (Raetodanty) (9-2) - Cal-bred just missed here on Oct. 9th racing for a $8000 tag in his second straight strong start since coming off a pair of layoffs in late August. He has back class, and can factor at a square price.
4th pick: #5 (Heir Joe) (8-1) - He moves way up in class after an easy win here on Oct. 8th facing much tougher. 6yo has been sharp in three straight starts, and can factor at long odds
