Top pick: #2 (GENTLEMAN JOHN) - Very sharp maiden win last out and it came in his third back from a long layoff. Has the best early speed and he'll be tough to beat with a repeat of that performance.
2nd pick: #6 (Johnny Throttle) - He raced well in canada last year on the synthetic surface at Woodbine and had a "throw out" return race here August 12. Gelding lost all chance at the start that day and can contend today with an alert getaway.
3rd pick: #4 (Laughing Charlie) - Has a good closing kick and he wasn't beaten much last out at this level and distance in his first vs. winners. Contends again today.
