Top pick: #6 (CHOCOLATIER) (3-1) - Improving colt has run well in both starts at this level and has been freshened up for the past two months. Working fast locally and is the horse to beat if he handles the real dirt.
2nd pick: #4 (Midnight Casanova) (5-2) - Un-raced since Aug. 24, trainer Jerry Hollendorfer drops him down, has him working fast, and Bejarano gets aboard. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Gallant Charm) (4-1) - Improving gelding just missed at Fairplex on Sept. 18 when racing at this tag, going 7 furlongs. Stretches-out, is working fine locally, and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #1 (Tiz Futurity) (6-1) - Fast finisher has put together back-to-back second-place finishes and would benefit from a fast and/or contested pace.
