Top pick: #9 (GROUP EFFORT) - Seven-time winner chased and weakened in a sprint at Fort Erie on Halloween in his first back off a 7 month layoff. His connections bring him back quickly and stretch him out in distance this evening. Can beat the presumed favorite (No. 3 Inheritance Lost) with his best.
2nd pick: #3 (Inheritance Lost) - The probable heavy favorite has finished second in two of his last three starst here at this price and distance. Speed/stalker has leading rider Deshawn Parker back aboard and is the likely winner if the top pick fails.
