Top pick: #9 (REAL ESTATE) (5-1) - He's a real rarity as this former stakes winner was away for 4 1/2 years and has raced himself back into shape, although at a lower level. Speedster drops back down to the price of his last win and that came on this surface on June 2nd. He catches a field where he can clear from his outside post and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (He Ain't Bluffing) (10-1) - He ships back from Suffolk where he's won three in a row for trainer Dave Jacobson. Once promising runner has the rail, moves up in price and cuts back in distance. Too sharp to ignore and he'll be at a square price.
3rd pick: #6 (Chasing Moonlight) (6-1) - Veteran gelding is working fast for his first since July 11th and this stalker has done well on this surface in the past without winning (6-0-3-1). Nicely spotted and he's a major threat with his best.
4th pick: #7 (Non Stop) (6-1) - He finished a close up fourth early in the Saratoga meet when facing a much stronger field in what was his first off a Dave Cannizzo claim. Working well, he has back class and runs with blinkers on.
