Top pick: #8 (EASE MY MIND) - Raced well earlier this year in June on this surface against better, and was sent in for a rest following that race. Returned from the two-month break with the same owners, but with a new trainer (Pete Walder). He's raced well in all three for him and can win this with a repeat of any of those races.
2nd pick: #6 (Joe's Gold Seeker) - Finished evenly after tracking the pace last out against tougher. Drops and may have enough speed to clear, and that makes him a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Vow of Silence) - Once classier and very speedy runner has been away almost two years. Returns at the bottom and with only three ho-hum works listed. Tough call.
