Top pick: #5 (REDEMPTION ROAD) - Lightly-raced and well-bred, he was an impressive maiden winner here on July 25th when trainer Jimmy Jerkens dropped him into a claimer off a two month layoff. Speed/stalker has taken money in most of his starts and this son of "Scat Daddy" can make his first effort against winners a successful one.
2nd pick: #7 (Leroidessioux) - He's already proven that he can compete at this tag and last out was beaten a head here just one week ago at it. Stalker ran a career best that day and is a win candidate on the quick turnaround.
3rd pick: #4 (Shane Roars) - New York-bred hasn't run since late June at Belmont when he chased and tired at this level and distance racing on the grass. Trainer Dom Galluscio is doing well at this highly competitive meet and this colt can factor with his best.
