Top pick: #5 (THE UNCLEAN SPIRIT) - California shipper brings the best overall form and in his last at Fairplex he just missed on real dirt. Has a drill on the local surface and Dominguez climbs aboard for trainer Doug O'Neill.
2nd pick: #1 (Walk With Kings) - Ontario-bred was highly thought of at one time early in his career, but re-surfaced at Penn National after a fall to mid-summer break. Improving, and he's coming off an easy maiden win. In shape and dangerous.
3rd pick: #1a (Parade For Peace) - Coupled in the wagering with the second selection, he has finished on the board in his last pair at this tag. Has some tactical speed but will have to hustle early from this post.
