Top pick: #3 (L.A. CONCERTO) - Looms the likely favorite and the more than likely winner. Daughter of "Aptitude" finished a strong second last out to a runner who finished second in a stakes here the other day. In a winning barn (Steve Asmussen) and she has the best speed.
2nd pick: #1 (American Land) - Freshened-up after a pair of starts earlier this fall. Had severe traffic troubles in her debut, and had a poor post (10) in start number two. Working well, draws the rail, and think she'll improve considerably.
3rd pick: #4 (Gold for the Queen) - Finished third last out and her performances are getting sharper with each race. Daughter of "Gold Token" was almost five lengths shy of the top pick last out.
