Top pick: #6 (GANTRY) - Returns today off a 17 month layoff for an excellent New York barn (Mike Hushion). He showed excellent speed in his first two starts and they came against better fields than this. Working nicely and jockey Channing Hill comes down for the mount. Hushion has done well here with a small number of shippers (6-2-4-0). The top pick.
2nd pick: #8 (Mingunade) - Working very fast for his first race since Sept.6 he has a good closing kick and draws outside of the speed. Win threat at a square price.
3rd pick: #1 (Silver Prado) - Debuts for a good first-time trainer (Mike Trombetta 25%) and this firey colt is working well first at Fair Hill and more recently at Laurel. He's almost four-years-old and hasn't started yet, so he has some issues. Contender nontheless.
