Top pick: #9 (LOTS OF TRICKS) - Consistent speed/stalker drops down to a new low in claiming price after pressing a fast pace and tiring facing tougher at Penn national Oct. 29. Race broke a string of four sharp efforts since Scott lake claimed him on July 30th and the drop today should have him competitive again.
2nd pick: #8 (Smokin Heart) - Probable favorite finished second here facing better 17 days ago and the red-hot barn of Juan Guerrero will drop him down slightly today. Speed/stalker is an obvious win threat.
3rd pick: #7 (Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk) - Veteran was claimed on Sept. 12 at Fort Erie by trainer Bob Mosco presumablyt for his previous success on this surface (4-2-0-2). Has plenty of back class and fits at this price and trip.
