Top pick: #1 (SAME OLD WISH) - Gelding is nearing his best after a pair of layoffs and ships back from Philadelphia Park where he missed by a neck at this tag and trip on Sept. 3. He has some back class, is working fine, and Dominguez is aboard.
2nd pick: #4 (Bomber Boy) - $200,000 son of "Bernardini" has never "panned out", but has improved noticeably since switching to the barn of dave Jacobson following a claim for $30K in early April. Strong finisher likes this surface (4-1-1-1) and I almost made him the top pick.
3rd pick: #2 (Sky Music) - New York-bred drops down for this and has been facing much tougher in his last three appearances. He has a fine late kick and would benefit greatly if the speed doesn't hold up.
