Top pick: #3 (HUSHHUSHMUSHMUSH) (3-1) - Long-time maiden has finished second in his last pair and was beaten less than a length in both. In shape, Castellano stays aboard, and this field seems a bit light for the level.

2nd pick: #7 (Elusive Talmo) (9-2) - Lightly-raced, he's finished an even fourth in his last pair facing tougher. Three-year-old is dropping into a claimer for the first time and should be involved from start-to-finish. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #5 (Ten Twenty) (5-1) - Another that's lightly-raced, he finished fourth here at this level Aug. 7 and was only a 1/2 length behind 'Hushhushmushmush'. Strong finisher must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #11 (Priest N the Rabbi) (8-1) - Nice debut saw him race close up while wide and hold his position until the final furlong. He's worked well since and trainer Wesley Ward wins at a 23% rate second time out.

5th pick: #8 (Touch of Paradise) (6-1) - No-speed type enters off a career best figure here Aug 7. It was his first ever on the grass and he appears headed in the right direction.
