Top pick: #7 (MOONLIGHT SONG) (4-1) - Very lightly-raced 6-year-old is back in his best form after coming back from a pair of layoffs. Gelding by "Unbridled's Song" just missed last out at Belmont at this level going 6 furlongs in what was a career best overall. Home-bred draws a nice outside post at this 7-furlong trip and gets a slight edge in today's opener.
2nd pick: #3 (Ithastobegeorge) (5-2) - Another very lightly raced and very talented. Son of "Yes It's True" has a flexible style and has returned from a seven month layoff a much better runner. In shape, working fast, and last out rallied to finish second here at this level and distance on July 19th.
3rd pick: #6 (Tenango) (7-2) - Talented speed/stalker has a bit of a class edge and just missed earlier this year in an $85K stakes at Belmont at this distance. Fits, draws well, and comes off a troubled trip when he was two back of "Ithastobegeorge" here on July 19th.
4th pick: #1 (Make Your Move) (6-1) - He moves back down a bit in class and shortens up in distance after being overmatched last out in the (G2) "Dwyer" at Belmont. Prior to that he'd won three of his last four, including one at this trip.
