Top pick: #3 (SMALL GIANT) - He was scratched yesterday out of a tougher field to race here and comes into this off a career best when finishing 2nd on Sept. 14 racing for $10K. That effort came firt off a claim and a repeat of it wins this.
2nd pick: #5 (Sixburgh) - Lightly-raced and in a winning barn (Tim Ritchey), gelding tired last out facing tougher in his first start in almost two months. Drops to a new low, meets an overall weak field, and Annie Napravnik (who was aboard in his win) is back aboard. Win candidate.
