Top pick: #4 (BIG THIEF) (4-1) - Speedy gelding is dropping back down in price and shortening up in distance. He finished second here at this tag in late May and he's the speed nearest the rail in this abbreviated sprint.
2nd pick: #6 (Just for Me) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, he just failed to hold on going 6-furlongs at this tag on Sept. 12 at Penn National. It was his second back off a 13-month layoff and gelding is an obvious win candidate this afternoon.
3rd pick: #5 (Formal Love) (6-1) - Lightly-raced colt takes a big drop in class and has blinkers added by a new trainer (Bob Helmetag). Working nicely, and if he has any talent he'll show it in this spot.
4th pick: #2 (Elusive Tiger T) (20-1) - Longshot is improving, draws the ground saving rail, and may grab a minor award at a big price with a late rally.
