Top pick: #3 (NIGHT SEEKER) (8-5) - Speed/stalker was a very impressive gate-to-wire winner here in a 3l Allowance on Sept. 1, then lost his rider at the start eight days later when heavily favored. In career best shape at present, this gelding by "Harlan's Holiday" is in a top barn (Tevis McCauley), and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Red All Over) (8-1) - Price play ships in from Thistledown where he as a wire-to-wire winner on Sept. 4 in a 2l Allowance. Nice score came first off a Jeff Radosevich claim and grey gelding should be involved every step at long odds.
3rd pick: #5 (Fair Dinkum) (5-2) - Strong finisher rallied to finish third here at this level on Sept. 3 in his first off a Kellyn Gorder re-claim. Gelding likes this surface (5-3-0-2). and should get a solid pace to close into.
