Top pick: #8 (EUROPEAN ROULETTE) - Improving gelding by "Unbridled's Song" finished 2nd last out at Belmont going 6 furlongs at this price and trainer Phil Serpe has freshened him up for the past 6 weeks. 4yo stretches-out and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Rajadesanimeaux) - The field's only filly raced evenly for $50K at saratoga on August 19 in her first back off a 17 month layoff. Drops, Dominguez is back for the re-ride, and 4yo faces a weak field.
3rd pick: #9 (Pernice) - His best effort came on this course, but it was over two years ago. Has some speed, races 3rd back off a 4 month layoff and moves back to the turf after showing nothing last out in a switched contest.Dangerous at a big price.
4th pick: #11 (Dynamite Dude) - His outside post and lack of speed are a concern, but he's raced evenly against tougher in all 6 grass races and is a stretch threat this afternoon.
