Top pick: #3 (PRAISE FOR DUBAI) - Price play stretches-out in distance after closing fast from a wide trip after breaking from a tough post last out sprinting here on Sept. 30. Can run them down late at a square price.
2nd pick: #5 (Nearly Was Mine) - The probable favorite runs in a claimer for the first time after being competitive facing better on both turf and "poly". Working fine and he'll race with blinkers on for the first time. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (We Wanted it More) - Has good early speed, draws the rail, gets blinkers on, and stretches-out around two-turns for the first time. Front-end threat at a nice price.
4th pick: #10 (Sanibel Sid) - Runs second off a Ron Ellis claim and a two month layoff. Working fine and he races with blinkers off today. Can factor if he avoids a wide trip from this marooned post.
