Top pick: #7 (FORGE) - Beautifully-bred colt was bred to be a much better runner than he's turned out to be, but that's more often the case than not. He finished a solid second here on October 4 racing for $7500 then easily broke his maiden 23 days later at Mountaineer Park on conventional dirt. Has a "bullet" drill since and he's conservatively spotted for his first race vs. winners. The top pick.
2nd pick: #1 (Seattle Charm) - Gelding ran very poorly at Churchill in his latest but prior to that had finished second in three straight starts, including a pair during the short fall session here. Has the rail and fits nicely at this $5000 price.
3rd pick: #10 (Codeofthebayou) - Stretch runner hasn't raced since the fall meet ended here but had finished second at this price and distance in his last before the two-month vacation. He has a trio of works during November including a very quick move on the Nov. 7. Player from off the pace.
