Top pick: #3 (BROKER BRETT) (3-1) - "Brett" has been competitive in 5-of-6 starts this year and last out rallied to finish second at this tag racing on Del Mar's "all weather" surface. Race was his first back from a 70 day freshening, he's been working fine since, and gets the call in a "wide open" contest.
2nd pick: #1 (Market Profolio) (4-1) - Lightly-raced gelding has finished second in both starts and last out at Del Mar he was beaten a neck in a large field (12). He's worked twice since and the Hollendorfer barn moves him to conventional dirt this afternoon.
3rd pick: #8 (Mi Hijo) (9-2) - Gelding by "Harlan's Holiday" drops down again after an even effort at Fairplex facing special weights on Sept. 12. Trainer Pete Miller removes this 3-year-old's blinker today and a bullet 3-furlong drill on this surface Sept. 21 suggests he's ready for a big effort.
4th pick: #5 (Anytime) (15-1) - The main speed, longshot hasn't raced since late Nov. of 2012 when he ran third in a stakes for fellow Arizona-breds at Turf Paradise. Working both fast and frequently, Owen's home-bred is a threat at a big price.
