Top pick: #3 (ONE FRENCH KISS) - He certainly doesn't win very often but enters this having finished second in three of his last four starts and all have come at this level. Speed/stalker missed by a head last out while six clear of the third-place runner and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (He's All Alex) - He moves off the inside for the first time in three starts and that should allow this price play to relax a bit before launching a rally. Can factor this afternoon anticipated at long odds.
3rd pick: #8 (Cuckoo Charlie) - Lightly-raced gelding was a maiden winner here on Sept. 1 in only his second lifetime start. Claimed that day by "Lupe" Preciado for $10K, he brings him back just uner the purchase price and the new man in charge wins at a 38% rate first off the claim.
