Top pick: #2 (PEGASIAN) - Chased the pace as the chalk last out on Sept. 13, before "hanging" in late stretch. He's been freshened up since that start and he'll move back to the grass for this attempt. Last pair of works are solid.
2nd pick: #5 (Marra Marra) - Raced evenly in his debut going nine furlongs on Sept. 5. Barn (Chris Clement) is very good second time out (22%), and gelding has a sharp work at Saratoga on Oct. 10. Should run much better today.
3rd pick: #6 (Fortissi More) - Stretches-out off a series of sprints on both dirt and turf. Last grass race saw him finish a strong second on this course at six furlongs. Clearly a better runner on the grass, and he's a contender.
4th pick: #1 (Cops Fever) - Speed on the hedge in a race without a lot of visible pace. He's "hit the board" in two of three on this surface and he should be in this from the start.
