Top pick: #6 (NO NUKES) (8-5) - He's had a lot of chances (20-0-4-5), but has been competitive many times facing tougher fields than this. Speed/stalker has previous experience on the main track here 4-0-1-1 and he looks to have only one strong challenger.
2nd pick: #5 (Campion Lane) (5-2) - He's also had a lot of chances and has gone 14-0-4-2 racing on the dirt. He has more early speed than most and finished second in a pair of local starts this past spring. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (American Hero) (5-1) - Lightly-raced gelding tired last out for a $40K tag going a mile on the Belmont turf Sept. 24. He was competitive in his previous dirt sprint and is dropping to a new low, moves from grass to dirt, and cuts back a furlong.
4th pick: #2 (Patrolikeachampion) (6-1) - Lostritto home bred has nibbled a few times and will be dropping in class, cutting back in distance, and switching from grass to dirt. If he has any ability it will come out in this spot.
