Top pick: #4 (GROUPTHINK) (8-5) - The probable favorite, he just missed here at this level going 7-furlongs on Sept. 10. He's racing back into shape following a long layoff and meets a much weaker field than he faced last out. Trainer Chad Brown scratched his other horse in here, and this colt is much the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Acigarisjustacigar) (20-1) - Longshot moves way up in class after finishing second here facing $16K "open" 2l claimers on Sept. 11. It was his second back from a two month break, and he's run well on off going in the past.
3rd pick: #8 (Tapidor) (10-1) - Lightly raced and well bred, he ships up from Monmouth where he broke his maiden on Sept. 13. He has some early speed, and this $450K son of "Tapit" still has room for upside.
