Top pick: #4 (GAME DRIVE) (5-2) - He bid to the front and was out-finished by today's rival "Bluegrass Dreamer" racing here at this level on Aug. 25. He made a strong middle-move that day and can take this with a similar effort.
2nd pick: #5 (Jonmill Johnny) (7-2) - Speedy gelding has really taken to the turf (5-2-2-0) and last out was beaten a "head" here in a very strong effort. In career best shape and a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Bluegrass Dreamer) (3-1) - As mentioned above, veteran ran down "Drive" in the finsl 1/16th to snatch the victory away from that rival on Aug. 25. His record on this course is excellent 6-4-1-0, and this nine-time winner must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #3 (Auditorium) (6-1) - Speedy sort ran a career best when he went wire-to-wire here when facing weaker on Sept. 7. In top shape at present, but this veteran faces a much tougher crew in this spot.
