Top pick: #4 (JOE CARL) - Gelding has been a popular item at the claim box as he races for his 4th different trainer since early July. Won last out here facing slightly weaker in his first off a Dan Hendricks "halter" and that made this runner 3 for 6 on this surface. Deep-closer should get a fast pace to rally into if all go that are entered. The top pick.
2nd pick: #2 (Gentle Romeo) - Lightly raced, in the Mullin's barn, has a flexible style, likes this surface (4-2-1-0), and has a "bullet" drill 5 days ago. Serious win candidate.
