Top pick: #5 (DIXIE ALL DAY) - The probable favorite, he finished a pace-setting fourth in his well-bet debut here on August 4th racing for $20K and was claimed that day by Terry Romero. Brought back on the August 24th and raised in class, 3-year-old by "Dixie Union" was beaten less than a length racing at this level on a sloppy surface in his first for the new barn. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Cute to Boot) - Gelding hasn't seen action since late April when he tired badly here at this level. Working steadily at the Fair Grounds for his return, his early speed can have him in this a long ways at a square price.
3rd pick: #6 (Three Legend) - He's one of three who are making their debuts in this contest, gelding is in a fine small barn (Jake Leger) and has some sharp works on his AM resume. Need not be anything special to factor against this group.
