Top pick: #3 (CLASS READY) - Gelding ships back from Hoosier Park where he finished an even third at this condition going 6 furlongs on Sep 13. Consistent sort likes this surface (2-1-1-0), has a flexible style, and has been competitive at this trip without winning (3-0-2-1). The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #10 (Wild Entry) - Races second back off a 2 1/2 month layoff and this Japanese-bred gelding raced wide and evenly in his return race sprinting for $25K at Presque Isle on Sept. 3. Has plenty of back class and is one for one on this surface. Parker, who was aboard in his local win is back aloft.
3rd pick: #8 (The Fourth Estate) - Presque Isle shipper is consistent one-run type who has done some good work on this surface (4-1-2-0). Tries every time and should do so again this evening.
