Top pick: #6 (GHOST BLACK) - East Coast invader finished a pace-setting 2nd at Monmouth going a mile racing for $16K in late August and trainer Pat Biancone has freshened him up since. Both wins have come at this distance, you know he likes real dirt, and 3yo gelding by "Ghostzapper" has a bullet 3 furlong work from the gate here 5 days ago. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Ominous Thomas) - Gelding was claimed by Adam Kitchingham on July 20th for $25,000 and finished a troubled 5th at Fairplex Sep 16th in his first for the new barn. Gelding by "Posse" raced well here on this surface facing tougher last spring and is a contender at a nice price.
3rd pick: #1 (Edgewick Road) - Has the rail and ships in from Fairplex whrer hw had a troubled trip there 8 days ago. Has the rail and strong finisher should get a solid pace to close into. Colt by "Swiss Yodeler" ran well here last winter/spring without winning.
