Top pick: #7 (SMART TOMCAT) - Son of "Smart Strike" has been freshened-up for the past 7 weeks by trainer Mike Maker. He's worked at 7 day intervals for the past 5 weeks and he'll run today at a new low in price. Can win this from "off the pace".
2nd pick: #1 (Deb's Roof) - Gelding makes his first start since late July at Monmouth. Mid-pack type has a nice recent drill and has done his best work on this surface (3-1-2-0).
3rd pick: #9 (Munition) - He's better on the turf, but has run competitively on the dirt facing tougher. The last time he raced for this $10K tag he finished 2nd at Aqueduct a year ago. Contender.
