Top pick: #1 (WILD CONGA) - Actually has a "win" on his resume, but was disqualified days later for a medication violation. Has the best "figures" already and he takes a big drop in price this afternoon. The horse to beat from his rail draw.
2nd pick: #6 (Sal Paradise) - Another dropper, this one from the barn of Nick Zito. He's been off a month since his latest and has a fine a.m. drill on October 11. Looks like a "now or never" situation for this $235,000 gelding by "Forest Camp".
3rd pick: #3 (We Get It) - He finished a fine third on Sept. 30 for twice this price in his first start back off a 70-day layoff. He comes back quickly for this, drops in half, and shortens-up a furlong.
