Top pick: #6 (DANCE WITH GABLE) - Veteran ran evenly here 17 days ago in his first race back off a half-year's absence. Has good positional speed in a race without much pace, draws a nice post, and has a sharp work here on the 23rd. 6yo can win this at a square perice.
2nd pick: #3 (My Summer Slew) - He chased and tired last out in a sprint stakes here and will move back to the turf whwere he's clearly better. One run type is 2 for 2 on this course and is a win candidate again today.
3rd pick: #2 (Afleet Ruler) - Consistent runner was away slowly here Oct. 10th and has been freshened-up since. Working fast and has the talent to stay closer to the expected "moderate" pace than most. Stretch threat.
