Top pick: #2 (HARPOON) (7-5) - Grey son of "Tapit" coast $500K and just missed when debuting on a muddy surface at Saratoga on Sept. 2nd. Trainer Todd Pletcher (38% second time out) adds blinkers, and he has this colt working sharply for this attempt.
2nd pick: #3 (Yankee Dime) (6-1) - Price play exits the same Saratoga contest as "Harpoon" and he tired that day after giving futile chase to the gate-to-wire winner. Gelding by "Dixie Union" is working nicely for this, and trainer Nick Zito takes this $100K yearling's blinkers off.
3rd pick: #5 (Cairo Prince) (5-2) - Grey son of "Pioneer of the Nile" cost $250K in Sept. of 2012, and makes his debut off of some steady and above average drills. The latest, a sharp five furlong gate work nine9 days ago should have him "on edge"
