Top pick: #7 (BRAHMAN) - Well bet in his debut here July 2, he chased the blistering pace of future stakes winner "Boys at Tosconova" before tiring badly. Working fast for this and trainer Todd Pletcher drops him into a claimer and stable jock "Johnny V." is aboard. The top choice.
2nd pick: #8 (Pretend and Extend) - Also drops off a layoff and this colt will get the addition of blinkers for this. Working fast for a good barn (Rick Violette) and he's a win threat.
3rd pick: #4 (Camillus Drive ) - He chased and held for the place facing cheaper when he debuted Sept. 2 at saratoga. In the Rice barn and she moves him up in price. Exotics factor.
