Top pick: #7 (INDIAN BOB) - Lightly raced, well-bred, expensive ($350,000), and in a good barn (Angel Penna Jr.). Colt tries winners for the first time after a sharp maiden win here on Sep.11th. That came in his 2nd back off a 4 1/2 month layoff and he has more room for improvement. Nicely spotted and the choice for the win.
2nd pick: #9 (Bridge to Nowhere ) - Deep closer finished a rallying 2nd here at this tag and trip Sep.11th and he has some back class to call upon. Probable favorite will be tough if he can avoid a wide trip.
3rd pick: #1 (Talk to Nick) - Races first off a Contessa claim and a 5 week freshening. Has some speed and he draws the rail. Gelding could be tough if he clears early.
