Top pick: #7 (ENGLISH MANOR) - Speedy gelding by "Toccet" has finished second both times he's raced for a "tag" and he'll drop back down and shorten up in distance after finishing fourth here going two-turns facing special weights on Nov. 2. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Coco Knows) - Another speedy sort and last out ran a career best when finishing a pace-setting second at Laurel for a $25K price tag on Nov. 8. In his previous start he finished fourth on this surface and was 3 1/2 lengths back of "Manor". Colt has the rail and his early speed makes him a threat.
3rd pick: #3 (Peri Whan) - Jersey-bred tends to run evenly and that has led to a (6-0-1-3) record with all of his starts coming at Monmouth Park against fellow state-breds. A factor from off the pace.
