Top pick: #1 (Evolutionist) - Bred for the grass, he was entered in his debut in a two-turn turf race at Saratoga, but like many in the first part of the meet, race was switched to the main track. Kinsman Farm home-bred should be sharp in start number two.
2nd pick: #12 (Into My Soul) - Needs a scratch in the main-body to compete. Colt was scheduled to run on the turf twice at the Spa., but both races were washed off the infield. Could impact this at a square price if allowed to run.
3rd pick: #5 (Precious Beans) - The field's most experienced runner has exhibited some speed/stalking ability and worked well on the Spa. turf in early August. Hustling rider (Chavez) takes over, so expect him to be involved from the start.
4th pick: #2 (Insider) - Another who was set to race on the turf last out, but ran anyway when the race was switched. Showed some speed that day and that commodity is always a plus in these two-year-old contests.
