#4 DUNPH (6-1) might be this good for Mike Maker. He stalked and drew off in hand in his flat mile debut at Penn National Sept. 15, and he earned a better number in another romping score in the local Spendthrift Stakes at seven panels Oct. 28. The tactical type drew well, and Tyler Gaffalione stays put.
#12 King for a Day (8-1) stretched out and showed marked improvement in a sharp maiden win at this distance at Belmont Park Oct. 4. John Velazquez sticks with Todd Pletcher's promising colt.
#1 Signalman (5-2) followed up a rallying place finish from the rail in the Breeders' Futurity with a late running show finish from post 13 in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. He is inside again for this affair and he fired a local bullet in the slop Nov 2.
#13 Knicks Go (2-1) was 70-1 when he went all the way in the Breeders' Futurity, and he was 40-1 in his place finish in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile last time. He is an outside pace player for profitable conditioner ben Colebrook, but I do not want to take a short price on this one. Just like Signalman, he is back in three weeks and might regress.
#10 Roiland (20-1) showed nice late interest in all three outings and he should get pace to chase in the paper race. Profitable route rider Edgar Morales is 3-for-7 with Tom Amoss.
