Top pick: #10 (ESCAPE TO THE MOON) (5-2) - Fried home-bred set a quick pace and held gamely to finish second when debuting at Belmont going 6-furlongs on Sept. 12th. Working nicely since, colt by "Malibu Moon" draws a nice outside post and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Native Singer ) (6-1) - Gelding tired last out racing at this trip on Oct. 3rd at Belmont. Race was his first off a seven week break, and he's very dangerous in this spot.
3rd pick: #9 (Jesses Giant Dunk) (10-1) - His best start came when he ran second at this distance at Saratoga on Aug. 17th. He's finished fourth in his last pair going a mile and runs with blinkers off.
4th pick: #2 (Shot to Win) (8-1) - Lightly raced gelding improved last out when racing at this distance, and will be making back-to-back starts for the first time. Can factor at a big price.
