Top pick: #6 (GREEN MONSTER) - Strong finisher moves back to the dirt following a trainer change to Steve Margolis. Gelding is working fast, has spent the majority of his career facing "open" company, and shoiuld get a solid pace to rally into. Can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #1 (Our Brave Warrior) - Has the rail, the best early speed, and has been freshened up since early July by trainer Mike Hushion, who's having a fine meet. He'll be sent hard and is another who has a fine chance at a nice price.
3rd pick: #5 (Cribnote) - He had a lot of promise back in 2008 when he broke his maiden on this strip, then finished second and third in a pair of G1 stakes. Unraced since early Oct. of that year, he's working well and is a major force if ready.
