Top pick: #6 (CABARET COWBOY) - He finished a strong second here last out at this level and the horse that beat him would be a heavy favorite n this spot. Colt had some promise at one time and appears ready to pick-up his first win of this season. He's (6-0-3-2) in 2010 and most have been at this level. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Drink at Last Call) - Lightly-raced gelding won an entry-level allowance here Sept. 25 and and is nicely spotted by trainer Mike Trombetta this afternoon. Working fast for this and he should get a quick pace to track. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Ricoriatoa) - He won here on August 28 in a first-level allowance in the best overall effort of his 18 race career. Latest at Monmouth saw him tire at this level in a race that had very fast fractions. Dangerous if he repeats his run here two back.
