Top pick: #8 (GIANT THUNDER) - Nicely bred 4-year-old stretches out to a mile following a second-place finish here when he raillied while wide going 5.5 furlongs on Sept. 9. Effort was his first locally after shipping north from Evangeline Downs and this gelding looks all set for his maiden win.
2nd pick: #6 (Ghost of Windhaven) - He set the pace and tired badly last out racing on the Presque Isle "poly", but had finished a close-up third in his previous start at Arlington on July 28th. can factor this evening.
3rd pick: #7 (Bad Economy) - Lightly-raced grey gelding has shown some improvement in his last pair at Thistledown and has been bet in several of his outings. Can impact, but needs to step it up a bit.
