Premium Pick

Top pick: #10 (WILD AND TRUE) - He finished second last out at Fairplex racing for twice this price on Sept. 15 and trainer John Sadler has worked him four times since. Drops down, the distance is fine, and he draws a good post for his stalking style. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #14 (Lana's Smile) - Lightly-raced and improving and trainer Craig Lewis drops him in price, switches him from turf to dirt, and cuts him back in distance. He ran well in a pair at Fairplex, so you know he can handle the dirt. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #8 (Coal Region Kid) - Very consistent gelding (8-1-4-2) and "won" here last out at this price and condition but was disqualified and placed second. Speed/stalker is in shape and should be involved from gate-to-wire.

4th pick: #2 (Fort William) - Speedy and lightly-raced gelding by "Smarty Jones" tries winners for the first time following an impressive maiden win at Fairplex on Sept. 22. Trainer Dallas Keen has him nicely spotted in his first facing winners and his speed makes him dangerous.
