Top pick: #9 (MIA'S MYSTIC) - Colt has been bet in two of his three starts and trainer Mike McDonald will dop this juvenile into a claimer for the first time. He's shown some speed facing tougher, faces a weak field, and draws a nice outside post at this 7-furlong trip.
2nd pick: #5 (Iron Ghost) - Grey son of "Mizzen Mast" has raced since finishing last of seven here when debuting facing special weights May 13th. That contest was loaded with talented runners and he drops into a claimer, and is working sharply for his return.
3rd pick: #8 (Nacho Earl) - Ships from Fort Erie where he chased and tired August 14th racing on real dirt. Effort came off a seven week freshening and he'll race with blinkers on and make back-to-back starts, both for the first time.
