Top pick: #6 (ASSOCIATE) - Multiple winner is nicely spotted today by trainer Rick Dutrow. When last in action, this colt was finishing second at Saratoga when sprinting at this level on July 28th. Working well since, and he's a perfect two for two on this often tricky surface.
2nd pick: #1 (Good Morning Diva) - He just missed at this level going 7 furlongs at Saratoga on August 18th. He's worked three times this month at Monmouth, with the latest being a bullet 5 furlongs just six days ago. Has the rail, a speed/stalking style, and is a big threat.
3rd pick: #4 (Bellamy Brew) - He's won 2-of-3 starts with the latest coming at Saratoga in an entry-level allowance going 9 furlongs at Saratoga on Sept. 2. He's worked since and his maiden win came here almost a year ago.
