Top pick: #5 (KING KITTEN) - Bred for the turf, son of "Kitten's Joy" will move to the infield and stretch-out in distance, both for the first time. Excellent barn (Wesley Ward) has him training sharply on the grass after a pair of dirt sprints. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Stately Victor) - Logical selection and probable faviorite finished second here in his debut at seven furlongs in a race originally scheduled for the grass. Has the hedge and he's a major player
3rd pick: #4 (Mesa Vista) - Fine third-place finish here on August 5 under these same conditions. Training well since and he'll impact this down the stretch.
