Top pick: #2 (METRO) (5-2) - Gelding is the main speed and he breaks from the rail. He tired late to finish fourth here at this tag and trip Aug 25. He was beaten a 'head' by today's rival 'Flashy Humor' for the show spot, but looks like he can go wire-to-wire against this field.
2nd pick: #3 (Flashy Humor) (3-1) - As mentioned above, he rallied to finish third, a 'head' in front of 'Metro' Aug 25. In their previous starts, he was a 'neck' behind that common rival Aug 6. Stalker looks like the main danger.
3rd pick: #5 (Justsouthofheaven) (8-1) - Stretch out sprinter is trying a two-turn distance for the first time. The balance of this field is weak on paper and this 5-year-old may pass the rest to grab a small share at a square price.
