Top pick: #5 (TODAY'S AGENDA) (2-1) - Grey colt is stretching out in distance after a pair of good efforts at Saratoga going 6-furlongs. Working nicely and trainer Tony Dutrow wins at a 23% clip on the yardage increase. The top pick.
2nd pick: #7 (Awesome Alex) (4-1) - He was bet down to favoritism when debuting here on Aug. 10, going 5-furlongs. He chased while wide and finished an even fourth that day and has worked well since. Home bred is a win candidate from a barn (Bob Reid) that wins at a 27% rate second time out and at a 26% clip on the stretch out in distance.
3rd pick: #1 (To Your Health) (3-1) - Barn (Wayne Catalano) unveiled a debuting winner on yesterday's card and sends out this home bred by "Tapit" off of some fine works at Monmouth Park. Jockey Paco Lopez is once again here to ride for Catalano.
4th pick: #3 (Birdie Barrage) (12-1) - He raced very wide going 7-furlongs at Saratoga Aug. 30, but colt had shown some talent here when debuting on Aug 10. From the same barn as "Awesome Alex" and a factor at long odds.
