Top pick: #1 (FABULOUS STRIKE) - Won this race last year in easy and impressive fashion. He won his only '08 start at Delaware after scaring away all but two rivals. Working sharply and will be tough to beat from the rail. He's using this as a "prep" for the "Breeder's Cup Sprint," so he could not be fully cranked-up. Think he ready.
2nd pick: #4 (First Defence) - Beautifully-bred colt may just be coming into his own for the very patient Bob Frankel. Tracking style fits the race and runner appears to have settled in as a sprinter after trying various distances during his career. Very dangerous.
3rd pick: #5 (Kodiak Kowboy) - Talented three-year-old likes to come from off the pace and had a ton of trouble in his last start, the (G1) "Kings Bishop" when he commenced his rally. Working well and is a threat.
