Top pick: #3 (DUTCH REWARD) - He's been freshened-up since an easy win here at this price August 14 when he picked-up his second victory in impressive fashion. Has back class, is 2-for-3 on this surface, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Cliff Divin) - Midwest invader rallied to finish fourth at Turfway park facing slightly tougher on Sept. 18. His two wins have come on the grass, but at this reduced price he should be competitve on the dirt.
3rd pick: #6 (Street Shoes Larry) - Gelding was an easy winner here at this price and trip Sept. 13 in his first on this surface and first off a trainer switch to Gary Welsh. Very dangerous as he's raced himself into shape following a 14 1/2 month layoff.
