Top pick: #9 (ISLANDPROSPECTORROB) - Lightly raced five-year-old has the best record of any entered (16-5-5-0) and they've all come against tougher. On the shelf since a poor try at Penn National on July 9, he's run well off of breaks in the past and races today at a career low in claiming price. The top pick.
2nd pick: #2 (Whiskey Lit) - Veteran gelding ships up the Jersey Pike from Philadelphia Park for a good barn (Robert Mosco). Latest was a solid pace-chasing second-place finish at this level Sept. 15. Repeat of it makes him dangerous.
3rd pick: #3 (My Charming Phil) - Pretty fast early and gelding has had the past seven weeks off. By the looks of the recent work activity the layoff has served him well. Threat from on, or just off the lead.
