Top pick: #3 (BOISTEROUS) - Phipp's Stable home-bred has gone (16-7-1-2) on the grass and has more wins on this surface (4) than the rest of the field combined(3). He's a Grade 2 winner and has been competitive a number of times in G1s. Freshened up since an even effort in the Arlington Million (G1) on Aug. 18 and he's beaten better fields than this in the past.
2nd pick: #6 (Stormy Lord) - Veteran ships from Philly Park where this Canadian-based gelding was an impressive winner of a $250K grass stakes on Sept. 15. Speed/stalker fits, is in career best shape, and should be involved every step.
3rd pick: #7 (Barocci) - Japanese-bred has been competitive in all four North American starts and last out at Saratoga he finished a close-up second to today's rival Bombaguia. Lightly-raced and he kept some good company in France before coming here.
