Top pick: #7 (DELICATO) - Probable favorite finished second at this level on Sept. 5 at Emerald Downs in his first race back off a year's absence. Working fast for this and he resides in a very good barn (Mike Chambers, 33% second off the bench). Speedster could be long gone against this crew. The top pick.
2nd pick: #8 (Cornrow Walease) - Lightly raced three-year-old tries this 3l level for the first time after a win here at this price two weeks ago. That effort was the best of his career and came off a 6 1/2 month layoff. Capable if he improves a bit more.
3rd pick: #1 (Cowboysandindians) - Steady performer is working fast for a low profile barn as he runs first off a 7 month layoff. Has the rail, speed/stalking ability, and is a big threat if ready.
