Top pick: #2 (SPECIAL INVITATION) (4-1) - He tired facing tougher when debuting at Saratoga July 19th. Colt by "Flatter" drops in class and that's a solid 20% winning move by trainer Rudy Rodriguez.
2nd pick: #8 (Mr Classic Seneca) (7-2) - Stakes placed when debuting in late June at Louisiana Downs he has fine early speed. Texas bred tired last out at Saratoga facing a bit better on Aug. 25 and takes a slight drop for this attempt. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Dinner Time) (10-1) - Gelding exits the same last race as "Seneca" and tired after pressing the pace while very wide. He moves to the rail, is working well, and think he'll be involved from start-to-finish at a square price.
4th pick: #3 (Oh Poggibonsi) (8-1) - One of a trio making their debuts, gelding by "Tiz Wonderful" has a fine series of works showing. In a capable first out barn (Jeremiah Englehart 14%) and believe this runner will sneak away at long odds.
