Top pick: #5 (BEYOND LOADED) - Races off a 3 1/2 month layoff and will drop into a career soft spot. Tries real dirt for the first time and lightly-raced veteran is in a good barn (Cliff Sise) has good tactical speed and is the horse to beat if he takes to the footing.
2nd pick: #2 (Academy Spy) - Veteran has good early speed and has a nice post to use it. Racing himself back into shape following a short layoff, he can contend today at a nice price.
3rd pick: #4 (Stormy Game) - Finished third here at this level on Sept. 15 in his first back off a seven week layoff. Can contend today for the win with a slight move forward.
