Top pick: #5 (SEMINOLE COUNTY) - The probable favorite, he ships from New York after a visually impressive maiden win here at Belmont on Sept. 14. Score came fresh off a Rudy Rodriguez claim and he's worked him at Aqueduct since. Nicely spotted and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Indio Carlos) - The main danger, colt by "Indian Charlie" is (6-0-4-1) since relocating here and 3-year-old brings a speed/stalking style to the contest. Has the best chance of "knocking off" "Seminole".
3rd pick: #4 (James Lee) - Recent maiden winner is lightly raced, improving, and can impact in the same race exotics as the balance of this field is weak.
