Top pick: #7 (GERARD LOVES BEER) - Working fast and frequently for his first race since late July at Saratoga. Has plenty of speed and had a "ton of trouble" last out. Excellent connections (Repole Stable/Bruce Brown)drop him in for a price today and colt is reunited with Dominguez. Much the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Treasure Trunk) - Goes turf to dirt, shortens-up in distance, and drops into a claimer. Well-bred gelding races for the 2nd time off a four month layoff and is working fast. The main danger and a win threat.
3rd pick: #6 (Prince Dylan ) - He raced evenly last out and checked-in 3rd at this level at Saratoga. Training o.k. for this and although not a win threat, he could reach the same race exotic bets.
