Top pick: #9 (LUNAR ROVER) (7-2) - Lightly-raced son of "Malibu Moon" was an easy maiden winner on a muddy surface at Saratoga July 27th. He tired two months later when racing in a G3 stakes on the Woodbine "poly." Working fast for this and $200K purchase is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (First Bid) (3-1) - He was a winner here on a good track in a starter-allowance on Sept. 17, then tired badly in his latest after chasing a quick pace at this level on a sloppy surface Oct. 4. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1a (Sublime) (4-1) - Darley home bred is moving from turf to dirt after a sharp wire-to-wire maiden win here, going 9-furlongs on the turf Sept. 14. He's run well on the dirt in the past and is a win candidate.
4th pick: #7 (Sea Raven) (5-1) - Lightly-raced and well-bred, he was an easy maiden winner at Saratoga on sloppy surface Aug. 21. He chased and tired here in his latest and the "off" going today is a plus for him.
