Top pick: #6 (ACQUIRE THE FIRE) - Gelding raced evenly facing tougher on July 31 on the local footing. Effort was his first in almost two months and first for trainer Marty Jones. Runner drops to a new low in price for his second back and also gets the addition of blinkers. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Draft Choice) - Speed/stalker runs fresh off a claim by Jack Carava on July 22. Son of "Bertrando" has worked twice since and is nicely spotted by his new barn. Win threat.
3rd pick: #5 (Satellite) - Consistent runner finished a pace-chasing third here on August 14 in his first off a claim and a subsequent two month freshening. Contender on the front-end.
