Top pick: #4 (TAKE COVER ) (9-2) - Like many in this maiden contest he's well bred and lightly-raced. Home bred by 'War Front' is cutting back in distance after a wide and even effort here at this level going a mile Aug 8. He's worked three times since and is racing second off a 2 1/2 month break. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Path Dependent) (3-1) - Gelding by international sire 'Henrythenavigator' rallied to finish third here at this level and distance Aug 13. It was his first start in 11 months and he did not break sharply. A win candidate with an alert beginning.
3rd pick: #5 (Bow Tie Boss) (7-2) - Freshened up since July 11, barn moves him to the turf for the first time. Stalking type is bred for the surface and has finished second in four of five starts on the dirt.
4th pick: #1 (Chiltern Street) (4-1) - Beautifully bred colt is from the 'win early' barn of Wesley Ward. Son of 'Giant's Causeway' has been in training at Keeneland and former English champion rider Kieron Fallon is aboard.
