Top pick: #3 (STAR FLEET COMMAND) - Gelding by "Indian Charlie" finished a rallying second on August 26 when he was dropped down to this $5000 claiming price for the first time. Doesn't have any speed, but he should receive a contested pace to close into.
2nd pick: #1a (Satan's Posse) - He's improved since a claim by a sharp operator (Eberd Estrada) and after a pair of sprints, he'll drop him in price and stretch him out in distance. Win contender.
3rd pick: #7 (Mikes Bet) - He's improving and had no chance in his latest when he was "bumped" heavily at the start. Previous start produced his maiden win and he did so from just off the pace. Contender.
