Top pick: #8 (STORM FLARE) (3-1) - Home-bred has been freshened up by the Asmussen barn since racing evenly here at this tag on Aug. 16. Son of "Latent Heat" gets blinkers on, has a fast gate breeze on Oct. 6, and meets a weak field.
2nd pick: #9 (Live to Run) (5-1) - One-run type ships up from Evangeline Downs where he's finished second in two straight racing for a $5000 tag. Gelding by "El Corredor" is a threat if he brings his Louisiana form with him.
3rd pick: #1 (Anteros) (4-1) - He's lightly raced, has fine early speed, and draws the rail. When last in action he ran second at Prairie Meadows on July 24th and should be involved from start-to-finish.
4th pick: #7 (Spanish Flyer) (20-1) - Longshot is lightly raced and was last seen in the same Aug. 16 race as "Flare." Working steadily and can grab a share if ready.
