Top pick: #9 (SEE I A) (3-2) - Fourteen time winner runs for the first time since late August when he finished 2nd at Delaware Park racing for a $16K tag. He's nver raced this low before, is in the barn of leading trainer Jamie Ness, and his two main rivals were late scratches.
2nd pick: #10 (Garcon) (15-1) - Longshot showed an improved effort last out in his 2nd start back off a 7 week layoff. Gelding has some back class and can factor in the same race exotic bets at a big price.
3rd pick: #1 (Zipatron) (5-1) - Speedy sort was a gutsy gate-to-wire winner here last out after shipping down from Finger lakes. Has the rail and that last effort was his best overall since late May.
4th pick: #4 (Steven) (15-1) - He's been on the sidelines since late Sep when he ran a career best when winning at Hoosier Park racing for $7500 to clear the 3l condition. Has back class and is a threat if ready off the 3 1/2 month layoff.
