Top pick: #4 (RAGING DAOUST) (3-1) - Stakes winner in New Jersey, gelding made his local debut a winning one when he scored here facing weaker going a mile on Sept. 7. In career-best form at present, he remains sharp with a bullet half-mile breeze (best of 46) at Monmouth six days ago.
2nd pick: #7 (Frazil) (8-1) - Veteran loves this surface and will be stretching out to his favorite distance. He's 7-5-1-1 and in his third start back from a 7 1/2 month layoff. 7-year-old has raced evenly in his return pair annd should offer whatever he has in this spot.
3rd pick: #5 (Point Taken) (5-2) - Geldings gives his best every time out and will be stretching back out after finishing third here in a 6-furlong sprint six days ago. Very sharp prior to that and he's 4-for-8 at this trip in the past, and is in the three-horse win mix.
4th pick: #3 (Sinorice) (6-1) - Deep closer is capable of impacting, especially if the pace is fast and/or contested. However, others seem more likely for the win.
