Top pick: #7 (PHANTOM LOVER) - He's bred to love the grass and grey son of "Mizzen Mast" enters this of a near miss at this level and distance on the main-track a month ago. Lightly raced, improving, and the patient barn of Ron Ellis is having a strong meet. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Whipstock) - He's exchanged decisions with "Lover" in a pair of starts and last out finished third, almost three lengths back of that rival. Unlike him he's already proven that he can "turf" and this son of "Mineshaft" is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Ultimate Decision) - Also trained by Ron Ellis and the pair will run as separate betting interests. Speedy colt is working fast for his first start since late August and is dangerous on the front-end.
4th pick: #4 (McCarroll) - Racing into shape following a year's layoff, this son of "Aragorn" showed some speed here on the grass in his return start and last out ran evenly. Can factor at a big price.
