Top pick: #10 (ROYAL POSSE) (2-1) - He was an easy winner here facing "open" 2l $25K claimers going a mile Sept. 19. A career best overall, colt was claimed that day by Bruce Brown. Stalker is moved up in class and has the best main track form on those running. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #11 (The Spotted Wonder) (3-1) - Speedy sort broke his maiden on a "sloppy" track going a mile at Aqueduct on April 12 of 2013. He's racing back into shape following a long layoff and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Blue Chips Only) (7-2) - Lightly raced gelding goes turf to dirt after getting his maiden win here on the grass Sept. 9. Home bred is capable of competing on the dirt and still has room for upside.
4th pick: #9 (Tiger D) (4-1) - Very lightly raced son of "Grand Slam" definitely has talent, but so far it's all been shown on the grass. He's working nicely on the main track and is a major threat if he takes to it.
