Top pick: #2 (GIVENENOUGHTIME) - Ellis Park shipper rallied to finish third there sprinting on the turf when making his debut Aug. 20. In a very good barn (Jim Corrigan) and this son of "Point Given" has a near bullet work at Keeneland five days ago. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (J P Express) - Home-bred weakened slightly to finish third here in a small field Aug. 5. Gelding by Metfield showed early speed that afternoon and trainer Jen Johnson has given him almost six weeks to recover from that effort. His speed makes him dangerous.
3rd pick: #6 (Sir William) - Ellis Park shipper has shown some early speed in his last two starts and owner/trainer Steve Larule has freshened him up for the past two months. Gelding by Mongoose should be involved from start to finish at a nice price.
