Top pick: #11 (WARREN'S TYLER S) (4-1) - He was away slowly last out from an inside post and did well to finish fourth. Improving, he moves from the rail to the outside and keeps Bejarano aboard. The top pick.
2nd pick: #8 (The Gatekeeper) (3-1) - He was scratched the other day to await this spot and comes off a career best when finishing third here at this level on Aug. 1. Working very fast since and a win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Supersonic Heat) (6-1) - He's yet to crack the exacta in 10 starts, but comes off a career best when finishing third here when facing tougher Aug. 15. No-speed type is a stretch threat this afternoon.
4th pick: #1 (Hope 'n Pray) (7-2) - Stalker draws the rail and was only 3/4s of a length back of "Heat" last out. Three-year-old needs a careful ride from this post in a big field.
5th pick: #5 (Cruel Spirits) (5-1) - "Nibbling" type drops and shortens up in his second back from a two month break. Grey colt can factor with some improvement.
