Top pick: #2 (WILLY BEAMIN) - He's been freshened-up since winning four in a row earlier in the year, the last three following a Rick Dutrow claim. Gelding should be razor sharp off of his local works and this one-run type catches a field with plenty of speed to set up his late charge.
2nd pick: #4 (Live For Today) - Consistent sort just missed here at this distance to today's rival "Zivo" in his first start following a seven week freshening. He's come back with a sharp 5-furlong local work and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Zivo) - Very lightly raced home-bred was a perfect trip winner here at this distance in an entry-level allowance on July 29th. Improving sort seems to enjoy distance racing and is a threat right back.
