Top pick: #5 (MCKENZIES WAY) (3-1) - Once classier type ships in from Fairplex where he ran evenly and wide to finish fourth racing at this tag and trip Sept. 18. There's lots of speed signed up and that will help his stretch running style out.
2nd pick: #7 (Chicsdigtheshark) (7-2) - One of several speed types that are entered and he's dropping down to the price of his last win. Gelding goes third off a seven week break and he's won 3-of-5 here in the past.
3rd pick: #8 (Macias) (8-1) - Veteran hasn't raced since April 13th, but is working fast, has back class, and has won two of four on this surface in the past. Dangerous if ready.
4th pick: #1 (Newfound Gold) (3-1) - Very fast from the gate, he's gone 27-5-12-6 on real dirt in the past and is dropping to a new low and going turf to dirt in his 2nd back from almost a year's layoff.
