Top pick: #1 (COME SOON) - He's been competitive in three of his last four with thr lone poor outing coming with a very wide trip. He just failed (a 1/2 length) last out against tougher at Saratoga and is the horse to beat this afternoon as he drops and draws the rail.
2nd pick: #4 (Timber Cruise) - Well-bred castoff from the Stuart Janney stable has run well in all three starts for his new trainer (Dave Jacobson). Freshened-up since a win at Monmouth on July 31, he's a major factor in this field.
3rd pick: #5 (Rare Cut) - Competitive runner from the South has compiled a good record (9-2-5-0) and runs today off a five-month layoff and for a new trainer (Johnny Campo Jr.). Works are good and he's spotted where he can win if ready.
