Top pick: #4 (SELF INSURED) - Re-claimed by trainer Gary Sherlock earlier this year after losing him for one race this veteran fits nicely at this tag and distance and has run well here before (4-1-1-1). Lots of speed to rally into and he's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #10 (Litsgoodlookingray) - Gelding raced evenly facing tougher in hie first back off an unsuccessful invasion of Monmouth this summer. Drops, has a pair of sharp works since his latest, and he gets the addition of blinkers today. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Capt. Sparrow) - Probable favorite races first off a Mitchell claim (37%) and is accustomed to facing tougher. Marty Garcia climbs aboard and this gelding would be no surprise.
