Top pick: #6 (WHO'S THE COWBOY) - Former stakes performer just missed here facing slightly tougher Sept. 17 in his first off a Gary Contessa claim. Drops a notch and a gets a distance that should land him in the winner's circle. The top pick.
2nd pick: #1 (New Member) - Very lightly raced over the past two years so he obviously has some major problems. Races today off a 6 month layoff and he takes a big drop in price. Has the best early speed if ready and this race doesn't have a lot of pace signed up. Threat if he brings his best off the rest.
3rd pick: #4 (Brecciate) - Races second back off a four month break and gelding ran evenly last out in his return facing slightly better. Has some back class and he's won at this distance in the past. Can factor if he improves a bit in his second start back.
