Top pick: #4 (TRAMEZZINI) - Well-bred gelding looked super in his maiden win here August 9 and this runner has been with some good barns in the past. Seems to prefer the grass and can make his first start facing winners a successful one.
2nd pick: #1 (Supremacy) - "Won" here facing lesser July 27, but was disqualified for not keeping a straight course. Has the rail, is in a good barn (Bill Martin), and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Smooth Ace) - Ellis Park-shipper comes here in career best shape and has the best early speed. Win threat on the front end.
