Top pick: #4 (STONESIDE) - Freshened-up since finishing second at this price going 6 furlongs at Hollywood park on June 12. Has back class, is working fast for his return, and stalker should get a fast pace to rally into. The top pick.
2nd pick: #5 (Sporting Art) - Speedy sort set/pressed the pace here at this price and distance August 10 and tired slightly in the last 1/16th. Race was his first since late Jan and he's in a barn (Mike Mitchell) that wins at a 42% rate second off of long layoffs. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Willyconker) - Irish-bred tries hard each outing and was a winner here last out at this price and distance facing weaker 1Y foes. Can be placed just about anywhere and must be left in the mix.
