Top pick: #8 (BROWN OKIE) - Home-bred has spent his entire career on this surface(7-1-4-0) and moves back in with fellow Okie-breds after a solid 2nd place finish in an allowance against "open" company. One run type should get a fast pace to rally into and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Amber's Shorty) - Moves up in class first off a claim by Lynn Chleborad after rallying to defeat a group of $5K state-breds on Sep 5th. Effort came in his 2nd back off an 8 month layoff and he's spent most of his career in the Chicago area facing "open" comoaby and doing quite well. Threat from off the pace.
3rd pick: #5 (Rigger) - He was heavily bet in his debut and proceeded to go wire to wire here racing for $15K on Sep.3rd. In a good barn, has the best early speed of these, and is working fast.
