Top pick: #2 (BIPARTISAN) (9-5) - Gelding was a sharp winner here at this tag and trip Aug 6. It was his first since June 11 and first since coming from the west coast. Stalker cleared the 3l condition that day and can come right back to take another.
2nd pick: #7 (So Ruston) (4-1) - Stalker is one of two entered by trainer Joe Foster and the pair race uncoupled. He's been sharp in three straight at this level and all have come here at Louisiana Downs.
3rd pick: #8 (Expect Elprada) (5-2) - The second of the pair from trainer Joe Foster, he has good early speed and has finished second in his last pair. Despite his outside post, 4-year-old should be involved from gate-to-wire.
4th pick: #1 (Tru Forty Won) (15-1) - Long shot stretches out in distance and breaks from the rail. He's pretty 'light' on his figures, so a small slice at a big price would appear to be his ceiling.
