Top pick: #3 (LUCKY LOGAN) (5-1) - Lightly raced gelding has sharp early speed and is racing 3rd back off a 9-month layoff. He improved noticeably last out when dropped to this level and 3yo breaks just off the rail. Can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #1 (Relative Time) (4-1) - He rallied to finish 3rd of 10, beaten 1 1/2 lengths when dropped down to this level for the first time July 12.It was his 2nd back off of several layoffs and he's worked three times since. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Royal Gambler) (9-2) - Freshened up since early Feb, he's working fast for his return. Lightly raced 3yo takes a big drop in class and races with blinkers off. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #7 (Son of Elanor) (8-1) - Unraced since last August, 3yo is taking a big drop in class and runs for a new trainer (Molly Pearson). a NEW gelding, this lightly raced runner may factor at a big price if ready.
5th pick: #12 (Brownhawk) (15-1) - Debuting colt has some quick works on view for a 27% first out barn (John Brocklebank). Son of 'Congrats' needs to break running from this marooned post.
