Top pick: #9 (LITTLE DRAMA) - "Big Drama's" little brother had a very strong race over the track when he battled a heavy favorite every step and held to finish second racing here at this level on Aug 2nd. Effort was his first off a two and a half month break and first off a trainer change to Mike Mariena. Gelding has worked since and stretches out to his favorite distance (5-2-0-2).
2nd pick: #4 (Raging Six) - Monmouth shipper is in career best shape and has finished second there in his last paid to multiple sprint stakes winner "Royal Currier," who would be a heavy favorite if entered here. Strong factor if he brings his Jersey form with him.
3rd pick: #8 (Zero Rate Policy) - Stakes winner has plenty of early speed and gets some class relief after competing in six straight stakes. Runs second off a 70 day freshening and is a threat on the front end.
