Top pick: #1 (PURE SENSATION) (6-5) - The probable favorite, grey colt has finished second in both heavily bet starts and is training very fast for his first since Aug. 15. Trainer Chris Clement adds lasix (24%), and an alert break frrom the rail should send this son of "Zensational" on his way to his maiden score.
2nd pick: #5 (Flat Jack) (10-1) - Price play was bet in his debut at Saratoga in late July and tired after chasing a fast pace while wide. Freshened up since, trainer Tom Albertrani adds lasix and this $285K son of "Flatter" should factor at a big price.
3rd pick: #3 (Tony B) (8-1) - Colt cost $500K and will be cutting back in distance after tiring last out going a mile. That should set him up well for this and he had a bullet half-mile drill at Saratoga on Oct. 12.
4th pick: #6 (Flying Joe) (12-1) - The fields most experienced runner, he ships back from Delaware where he finished second at this level and distance on Sept. 23. Improving son of "Sightseeing" worked a bullet 3-furlongs here on Oct. 14.
