Top pick: #4 (DAWLY) (7-2) - Veteran likes this distance (6-1-3-1) and also likes it a bit "wet" at 5-1-3-1. Stalker can run them down late after a solid second-place finish last out.
2nd pick: #3 (Crackerjack Jones) (9-5) - The probable favorite, he's lightly raced, speedy, and has only been sub-par once in his career at 5-3-1-0. Obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Sockittume Samurai) (6-1) - He ships back from Laurel where he ran second at this distance in an entry-level allowance just a week ago. Stretch threat.
4th pick: #6 (Isn'tlovejustgrand) (8-1) - Old-timer was a winner at Belmont at this distance on Oct. 12 and is more than capable of grabbing a slice on the main-track.
