Top pick: #1 (STREET JERSEY) (7-2) - Home bred chased and held to finish 3rd here at this level going seven furlongs July 31. It was his first start in nine months and came back with an impressive half-mile work Aug. 16th. Has the rail, shortens up a furlong, and trainer Barclay has had a great meet (13-5-1-3).
2nd pick: #2 (Kick Off) (3-1) - Son of 'Bernardini' is working fast for his first start since early Nov. He finished a pace-setting 2nd going a mile at Aqueduct that afternoon, and this Godolphin home bred is a win candidate if ready.
3rd pick: #5 (Farraj) (5-2) - He cost $1,600,000 as a 2yo in training in March of 2014. He's had some set-backs along the way and was scratched here recently when he 'reared up' in the starting gate. Working fast and frequently, and he was bet heavily the day he was a late scratch.
4th pick: #6 (Saratoga Wildcat) (8-1) - Longshot is unraced since Dec. 13th. He returns a NEW gelding and has some impressive works on view for his return. Barn (George Weaver) won a pair on yesterday's card and this gelding is a 'live' longshot.
