Top pick: #4 (MAJESTIC BAY) (5-2) - Well-bred colt has been freshened up since May 24th when he broke his maiden in style on the Churchill turf in his first off a Mike Maker claim. Working nicely for his return and barn has him spotted perfectly.
2nd pick: #2 (Liberty Wing) (3-1) - Speedy colt has talent and will be racing on a synthetic surface for the first time. This field has very little speed on paper, and this son of "Bernstein" is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Quelch) (7-2) - Arlington shipper rallied to win on the grass for a $16K tag on Sept. 21 to clear the 2l condition. Home-bred is in a good barn (Mike Stidham) and will be trying the "poly" for the first time.
4th pick: #9 (Mr. G.L.B.) (15-1) - Longshot comes off a career best on Sept. 25 at Presque Isle where he finished a close up fourth when facing a bit tougher. Effort came first off a John Bourke claim and he could grab a share today at a big price.
