Top pick: #6 (KANAGARO) - He finished a strong second at this level going 7 furlongs on this surface Sept. 16 in his second back off a 6 1/2 month layoff. Son of "Indian Charlie" stretches-out a bit and is clearly improving. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Unprecedented) - He raced evenly despite a bad "stumble" last out here and did very well to finish fourth. Race was his first in 25 months and he was claimed that day by the Chatterpaul barn for $35K. $400K son of "Saint Liam" is brought back in foour weeks and they run him where they can't lose him. Can factor with some improvement.
3rd pick: #1 (Volcano Run) - When last seen in March, he put in a strong late rally to finish fourth at Gulfstream racing at this level. Working steadily for his return and this son of "Congrats" can impact if ready.
4th pick: #4 (Dream Man) - Races third back off a 10 month break and he showed some early interest last out before wilting. Has a fine work since and this regally-bred grey colt may improve enough to factor.
