Top pick: #4 (JOHNNIE'S BREEZE) - Racing back into shape following a 75 day layoff, he was involved last out in a spirited pace-duel before weakening to finish fifth of 11. Veteran loves this surface and was reclaimed by trainer Jim DiVito after losing him for one race this past July in Iowa. Looks set for his best.
2nd pick: #1 (Tank's Letter) - He's another who does good things on this surface (8-4-0-2) and last out was involved from start to finish and checked-in third, just a bit more than a length back of Momentarily. Has the rail, fine early speed, and he's a strong win candidate.
