Top pick: #2 (THE PLETCHER ENTRY) - Only one part of this Todd Pletcher of No. 2 "Revolutionary" and 2B-"Delhomme" will run as jockey Cornelio Velasquez is listed on both halves. Either will do as our top pick as both were heavily bet in their Saratoga debuts and each ran well. Both are working fast and their bred to love this mile distance.
2nd pick: #5 (Mudflats) - Scratced the other day to await this spot, grey son of "Tapit" finished a pace-chasing fourth in his debut and will be stretching out in distance this afternoon. Contender.
3rd pick: #1a (Long River) - Darley stable runner is part of an entry with No. 1 "Summer Sands" and he raced very wide while finishing evenly in a 6 furlong sprint here Sept. 15. Working fast since and this home-bred by "A.P. Indy" is bred to love this trip.
