Top pick: #7 (CRUZIN WITH CASH) - Speed/stalker has been freshened-up since Jan. 22 after a strong second-place finish at this level and distance on Aqueduct's inner-surface. Bred for the turf ("Langfuhr") he's had serious traffic issues in both previous attempts on the grass. Can win this at a square price.
2nd pick: #4 (Sydney Road) - He finished a strong third last out at Aqueduct in his seasonal debut and this son of "Repent" likes this surface (4-2-0-1). Win candidate in his 2nd off a four month layoff.
3rd pick: #8 (Hot Money) - Lightly raced, talented, and in a good barn (Chris Clement) he hasn't raced since July 16. Gelding by "Not For Love" is two for three on this surface and is a threat from off the pace.
4th pick: #6 (Calvello) - Has speed/stalking ability in a race without a lot of clear pace. Could be in it a long time at expected long odds.
