Top pick: #1 (CAUSEWAY'S KIN) - He makes his first start since April and also his first for trainer Marty Wolfson. Training fast and frequently new trainer wins with 34% of his new arrivals and 25% off of long layoffs. Has the rail and he's the choice to take the season's opener.
2nd pick: #7 (Grand Captain) - Working sharply on the local surface this will be his first start ever on conventional dirt. In a "cagey" barn (Pat Biancone) and trainer removes his blinkers. Contender.
3rd pick: #9 (Maria's Pass) - He was heavily bet in his debut at the Meadowlands and he showed good early speed before weakening slightly to finish third. Blinkers are added for this and he's a threat on the front-end.
