Top pick: #1 (ASPIRING NICK) - "Nick" comes off a solid effort at this price at Penn National on Sept. 5 and this is his favorite surface (13-4-2-3). Has back class, a stalking style, and he's (4-1-1-1) on wet tracks.
2nd pick: #4 (Zosogood) - Speedy veteran went gate to wire here facing slightly tougher on August 4th and has been freshened-up since. He's the main speed, is (7-1-3-0) on wet tracks, and is dangerus on the front end.
3rd pick: #5 (Coffee Bar) - He stalked, bid, and weakened to finish fourth of 9, beaten just over 4 lengths racing at this level and distance eight days ago. He has plenty of back class, likes the surface (8-2-2-1), and is 1-for-1 on "off" going.
