Top pick: #3 (LET'S HAVE US ONE) (8-5) - Colt is stringing starts together for the first time in his career and comes into this off a pair of third place finishes at Saratoga. One run type is nicely spotted and meets a weaker field than he faced last out.
2nd pick: #6 (Team Lazarus) (7-2) - Speedy sort drops down to a new low and draws a nice outside post in this small field to "gun" from. Son of "Elusive Quality" should be involved from start-to-finish, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Alysaro) (3-1) - Gelding has been freshened up since June 19, and when last in action he tired facing tougher in his first off a Dom Schettino claim. Drops, and he ran second at this tag last Nov. at Aqueduct.
4th pick: #2 (Datt Melody) (6-1) - Son of "Unbridled's Song" tired badly when debuting at Saratoga on Aug. 24th facing special weights. Trainer Bill Mott drops him into a claimer, and home-bred should run better in this spot.
