Top pick: #7 (BOLD CONVICTION) (6-1) - Price play bid while widest and managed to finish second to a "long gone" winner racing here at this level and distance Sept. 27. Race was his second off almost a three month break and he can take this with a slight move forward.
2nd pick: #3 (Zealous Yankee) (3-1) - Gelding goes turf to dirt after finishing a wide and even third here in a 4.5 furlong grass sprint at this tag on Sept. 30. Speedster should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #4 (Pronto Caballo) (8-1) - Very consistent sort has been freshened up since winning here on July 1st going 6 furlongs at this tag. Dangerous if ready off the 3 1/2 month layoff.
4th pick: #8 (Appealing Yankee) (10-1) - Speedy Charles Town invader is capable of running a sub-:45 half-mile and that should have him in this turning for home.
5th pick: #9 (Darcy Boy) (8-1) - One-run type draws a tough post, but the pace here should be on the quick side and that should help his style out.
