Top Pick: #1 (EL KABEIR) (5-2) - Grey colt enters off a very impressive maiden win at Saratoga going 7-furlongs on Aug. 30. It was his first with Lasix, and this son of "Scat Daddy" is working fast locally for this attempt.
2nd Pick: #6 (Daredevil) (2-1) - He's the only one entered with a win on an "off" track. He did so here on a "muddy" surface Sept. 13 going 6-furlongs when making his debut. Colt is brought back quickly by trainer Todd Pletcher and is a win candidate.
3rd Pick: #3 (I Spent It) (6-1) - Colt from the first crop of "Super Saver" has been sharp in all three starts and enters off a second place finish at Saratoga in the G1 "Hopeful" on Sept. 1. He had won the "Saratoga Special" (G2) in his previous race and must be left in the mix.
4th Pick: #4 (Holy Boss) (3-1) - He was an easy gate-to-wire winner going 6-furlongs when debuting at Churchill Downs on Sept. 6. Bet down to favoritism in that ten horse field, and the issue was never in doubt. Can't eliminate him.
