Top pick: #7 (HE'S SO CHIC) - 13-time winner was a come-from-behind winner here at this tag going 6 furlongs on Sept. 19 in her first off a Bruce Brown claim and a subsequent two month layoff. Veteran meets a tougher bunch today, but he's (9-3-2-2) on "off" tracks and there's plenty of speed signed on to help his style out.
2nd pick: #2 (Big Grandpa) - Dangerous speedball went gate to wire here on Sept. 30 when racing for a $20K tag on Sept. 30 in his first off a Dave Jacobson claim on Aug. 15 at Saratoga. Trainer is having a great meet. specializes on these quick turnarounds, and gelding is 2-for-2 on "off" tracks.
3rd pick: #1 (Liston) - Dominguez abandons "Grandpa" to ride this gelding who set the pace and just failed to last going 8.5 furlongs at this tag on Sept. 21. Runs second back off a two-month break and must be left in the mix.
