Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (FUTURE GOLD) (3-1) - He finished second here at this level on June 29 and earned a career best "figure" that afternoon. 3yo followed that up with a sub-par effort on Aug. 10, and is brought back quickly by the high percentage barn of Jamie Ness. Gelding by "Flower Alley" gets a slight edge in today's finale.

2nd pick: #5 (Claydun) (2-1) - Lightly raced 3yo by "Smoke Glacken" ships in from Ellis Park where he pressed a quick pace while wide before weakening in the final furlong. That was a fine effort, and he's a win candidate if he repeats that run on the local "poly."

3rd pick: #1 (Profit Preferred) (8-5) - The probable favorite, he's finished second in two straight here at this tag, and one run type breaks from the ground saving rail. Win candidate, but no "lock" at a short price.

4th pick: #3 (Lethal Strike) (12-1) - Long time maiden is cutting back in distance after tiring last out going two-turns. He finished fourth in his previous pair and could grab a minor award at long odds.
