Top pick: #7 (ONE RED CAT) (3-1) - Gelding comes off a career best when he finished second at Saratoga on Sept. 2 when facing $20K "open" maiden claimers. Claimed that day by Dom Galluscio (20%), he moves him back up in class and 3-year-old faces a lightly-raced field.
2nd pick: #8 (Hidden Warrior) (4-1) - Un-raced for almost a year, gelding worked four times at Saratoga, but trainer Linda Rice decided to await this meet to bring him back into action. The works are fine annd he can factor if ready.
3rd pick: #6 (Escape to the Moon) (5-2) - Debuting colt is a home-bred by "Malibu Moon" and his full brother was an impressive winner when making his first start. Strong factor if ready.
4th pick: #3 (D J's Hope) (12-1) - Un-raced since May 15th, lightly-raced 3-year-old had some speed when last in action and he's working fast for his comebacker. Blinkers go on and gelding by "Hook and Ladder" can impact at long odds.
