Premium Pick

Top pick: #4 (GUIDING HAND) - Invader from Asiniboia Downs hasn't raced since late July, but is working nicely locally off a major trainer switch to Mike Chambers. New barn wins at a 32% rate with new arrivals and at a 28% clip off of long layoffs. Stakes winner in the past loves this trip (15-5-4-0) and has finished 1st or second in 25 of 50 starts on real dirt. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #5 (Fog Alert) - Races third back off a layoff and will drop in price as he returns to his favorite surface (4-3-0-0). Gelding has back class and veteran trainer Art Sherman will run him in a career soft spot.
