Top pick: #8 (THISONESFORSAM) - Veteran recently returned from a three-month break after his form began to deteriorate earlier this year. Race on October 3, was solid, and marked his being reunited with trainer Jayne Vaders, who had him for some of his succesful races. Comes back to Philly where he has 16 career wins. Think he'll make it 17 today.
2nd pick: #1 (Uncle Divsie) - Dropped to this $5K tag last out for the first time, he closed strongly to miss by a "head" travelling seven furlongs. Stays at the same price and shortens up a furlong. Contender.
3rd pick: #11 (Tin Soldier) - Lake runner will make his third start back off a recent break and showed some improvement in his latest. Could surprise.
