Top pick: #5 (DIMINO DERVAL) (5-2) - The probable favorite, she was involved in a spirited pace-duel at Saratoga when debuting on Aug. 26, but after winning that battle, she tired to finish second in a solid first appearance. In the Pletcher barn (37% second time out) and home-bred will be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #1 (Tizarocket) (3-1) - Daughter of "Tiznow" raced evenly when debuting at Saratoga on Sept. 2 and checked in third of seven, beaten almost 5 lengths. She's worked twice since, including a bullet 5-furlong work here on Sept. 26. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Garzoni) (10-1) - Darley home-bred by "Bernardini" raced evenly befored backing-up when debuting at the "Spa" on Aug. 4. Bred to like today's extra furlong and she draws a nice outside post in this small field.
