Top pick: #5 (OUR BRAVE WARRIOR) - Price play set a pressured pace before tiring at Saratoga August 20th in a contest at this level and distance. Effort was his first in 7 weeks and his lone win came on this surface last year around this time. He's the top pick and one of two horses entered by trainer Mike Hushion and they'll race uncoupled.
2nd pick: #6 (Cribnote) - The probable heavy favorite was beaten less than a length in the same race as "Warrior" and that was his first start in 22 1/2 months. Gelding has plenty of back class and he'd be no surprise, though at a very short price.
3rd pick: #4 (Ground Force) - Improving 3yo comes here off of three big efforts at Saratoga and two back defetaed the top two picks here with a strong pace chasing 2nd place finish. He should be involved from start to finish.
