Top pick: #6 (CINDER CONE) - Hard-hittin 7-year-old gelding alwys comes to run and this is his favorite distance (15-5-3-1). Speed/stalker just missed here last out at this trip and tag and draws outside of the other speed. His wet track record is excellent (5-1-2-2) and he's the choice for the win.
2nd pick: #8 (Distant Sky) - Very lightly-raced he ships in from Monmouth where he raced evenly facing a bit tougher on the grass. He was an easy winner there in a switched contest in early July and can factor today at a nice price.
3rd pick: #1 (Mad For Smarty) - He had some trouble at the start last out but stiil ran well to finish third, only 1 1/2 lengths back of "Cinder". Stalker has the rail, has won on anoff track before, and must be left in the mix.
