Top pick: #6 (SEMINOLE COUNTY) - With the scratch of No.5 "Act One Scene One" (who broke his maiden here on Sunday), this colt will be tough in this weak field. Son of "Rockport Harbor" runs first off a Rudy Rodriguez claim (a 20% winning angle) and the barn has had four winners over the past two days. Lightly raced colt finished a sharp fourth two back at the Spa, then caught a sloppy surface last out and tired.
2nd pick: #4 (Side Party Ralph) - He's been competitive in 5 of his 14 starts and comes off a career best when he finished second at Saratoga facing a bit tougher Aug. 19. Speedy sort should be in this from start to finish.
3rd pick: #8 (Two and Twenty) - Price play is lightly raced and will be running off a seven week freshening this afternoon. Working well above average for his return and veteran John Parisella will add blinkers this sfternoon.
