Top pick: #1 (HUNTER'S SCORE) - He raced wide and made up some ground here Oct 10 at this level and distance. Race was his first off a Juan Guerrero claim and only his second start since May 29. Moves from an outside post to the rail and can win this with just a bit of improvement.
2nd pick: #8 (Showmanship) - Races first off a Kate DeMasi claim and he comes here from Monmouth in shape and win both speed and stalking ability. Shortens up a furlong today but that should be a positive for him.
3rd pick: #9 (Gimme A Winner) - He's been competitive in 3 starts at this level but continues to race evenly. Trainer Cathal Lynch stretches him out a bit in distance today and this lightly raced gelding can factor if he finishes a bit stronger.
4th pick: #3 (Principatus) - Broke poorly in his latest which was his first off a positive barn switch to Eberd Estrada. Goes a bit farther today and this gelding should be closing fast.
