Top pick: #8 (TROUBADOR TANGO) (5-2) - He showed an improved effort last out in his first off a Ramon Preciado claim, and the barn will drop him down and stretch him out in distance. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Frozen Four) (2-1) - The main speed, he opened up a big lead and just failed to last, racing at this tag & trip on Sept. 17th. Well-bred and a strong win candidate in this pace-less field.
3rd pick: #1 (Gottcha My Dear) (10-1) - He's been freshened up since a poor effort in late August, but had been competitive in three straight prior to that. Has the rail, some early speed, and is in the mix.
4th pick: #2 (Printer's Alley) (12-1) - Longshot has no early speed, but draws a good post today, and his rallying style should fit with this group. Stretch threat.
