Top pick: #1 (MIESZKO) - He just missed in his first off a Julio Cartagena claim and this veteran has always done his best work on this course (16-4-5-2). The horse to beat from "off the pace."
2nd pick: #5 (Editor's Column) - Won here on August 31 and it was his best overall effort in almost a year. Has a style similar to the top pick as they would both appreciate a fast/contested pace.
3rd pick: #2 (Jupiter's Stone) - Looked sharp winning here two back, then raced poorly from a bad post at Penn national in a turf contest. Accustomed to facing better most of his career, he's a threat on the front-end as he moves back to the dirt.
