Latest saw him finish third at Keeneland Oct. 6 going nine-furlongs in a first-level allowance. Competitive in all eight starts this year, 3-year-old gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Bird's Eye View) (6-1) - Gelding drops in class after missing by a 'neck' here going 8.5 furlongs facing tougher Sept. 30. A career best, it came in his second start back off a three month layoff. Stalker has the rail and Castellano is back on the re-ride.
3rd pick: #7 (Memories of Peter) (9-2) - Five-year-old rallied to finish second here at this level and distance Sept. 23. Competitive in eight of his last nine overall, he broke poorly Aug. 26 at Saratoga when finishing four lengths in back of 'Holiday Bonus.' Dangerous today.
