Top pick: #6 (GOLD LEGION) - Gelding by Touch Gold loves the local surface(9-3-2-2) and has finished 2nd in three straight starts, all coming at this $14K tag. Lightly raced this year (5-0-3-1) since coming back from a 10 month layoff in July and this 5yo is in a very sharp small barn (Lou Roussel). The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Lemon Custard) - He raced evenly last out in the same race as "Legion" and failed to rally when asked. That field was tougher than this one and this veteran gelding by "Lemon Drop Kid" moves to the rail this afternoon. Contesnd today.
3rd pick: #2 (Lost Forty) - Has some early speed and can also stalk successfully. This 3yo has done his best work on this surface and should get to the rail heading into the first turn. Can be involved from start to finish at a nice price.
