2nd pick: #1 (Tiz a Slam) (6-1) - The main speed, veteran draws the rail and is racing for the fist time since a good effort when checking in 4th in a G1 stakes going 12 furlongs Sept. 14 at Woodbine. He should be involved every step at a big price.
3rd pick: #8 (Red Knight) (6-1) - State bred won a 12 furlong non-graded stakes Oct. 13 at Belmont and earned a career best figure. 5yo has a flexible style and has won on this course in the past.
