Top pick: #7 (RATHMAN) - Lightly raced gelding is in a winning barn (Mike Mitchell) and this 3yo comes off a "troubled" trip at this level after breaking from the rail. Speed/stalker moves out in the gate and has a near "bullet" drill 5 days ago. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Southern Victory) - He's improved since a Mike Pender claim on Sep. 17th at Fairplex and this speedster draws a nice outside post to be sent from. Gelding should be in this from start to finish.
3rd pick: #1 (Elusive Moment) - Has the rail and speed/stalking ability. He's been competitive in his last pair here, both at this level and should be a factor again today from his inside draw.
