Top pick: #7 (ATTRACTIVE RIDE) - Prolific winner (11-for-36) has won three in a row and they've come at three different tracks. Gelding won at Churchill in late May, Ellis Park on July 15, and most recently at Turfway on Sept. 16. Speed/stalker makes his first local appearance and gets the call in a tough race.
2nd pick: #8 (Rummy's Command) - He just missed last out in a $76K stakes for West Virginia breds at Charles Town and all four of his wins have come on this surface. One-run type is a late threat for the top prize.
3rd pick: #2 (Endofconversation) - Hard-hitter has an excellent overall record on real dirt (23-7-5-4) and was an impressive winner here in late May in his only previous local start. Woodbine shipper is in shape, has a flexible style, and is in the win mix.
