Top pick: #4 (MARQUET CAT) - Runs first off a Dave Jacobson claim (a strong 25% winning angle) and he'll bump him up a bit in price and move him from the turf to the dirt. He's a bit of a wet track specialist (7-3-1-1) and will be racing second back off a 65 day freshening.
2nd pick: #5 (Take Down Two) - Veteran enters in fine shape and is another with an outstsnding record on "off" going (12-4-4-1). One-run type has won his last pair on this surface and will be dropping down off an even effort facing better at saratoga on Sept. 1.
3rd pick: #3 (Flat Bold) - He's got plenty of back class and absolutely loves the local surface (7-3-1-3). Stakes winner has been a bit sub-par in his last pair so trainer Dom Schettino drops him into a career soft spot.
