Top pick: #6 (KIERNAN'S LEGACY) - Very speedy veteran was droped down to this price last out for the first time and it produced a 4-length, wire-to-wire win. Trainer Scott Lake has given him almost six weeks to recover and 6-year-old Ontario-bred has a fine half-mile breeze on Oct. 1. Earlier this year he beat much tougher on this surface and gelding will be a handful this afternoon.
2nd pick: #1 (Song of Stars) - Stalker is another who beat better here earlier in the meet and won here at this price and distance on Sept. 19. Has the rail, lots of speed to track, and is a win candidate when they straighten away.
3rd pick: #9 (Double Holiday) - Strong finisher races first off a Jamie Ness claim, and that's benn a steady 31% winning angle for almost two years. Gelding likes this surface (6-2-2-1) and draws a nice post for his style.
