Top pick: #4 (FICTIONAL CHARACTER) (4-1) - Price play has a good closing kick and the pace scenario here should set up nicely for his late charge. In shape, goes turf to dirt, and I like his chances.
2nd pick: #6 (Greg's Fourwheeler) (8-1) - Longshot has a bit of early speed and is dropping in class in his second back from a three month layoff. Filly has been bet a bit and is set up for a big effort.
3rd pick: #2 (Blue Collar Cat) (5-1) - Speedy gelding tired after setting the pace in a 6-furlong sprint at this level on Sept. 19th at Belmont. It was his first start in a year, and he's been working above average since. Has the rail, Johnny V. stays aboard, and this 3yo must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #1 (Campion Lane) (6-1) - Longtime maiden moves up in class and stretches out a furlong after a solid effort here going 7-furlongs Oct. 31st. Can factor, but he needs to do a bit better down the stretch.
