3rd pick: #5 (War Beast) (8-1) - Blinkers go on colt who rallied while wide to finish 3rd at this trip Aug. 10. Improving sort only needs to step forward a bit to factor today at a big price.
4th pick: #6 (Drasario) (6-1) - Irish import was away slowly when finishing 4th, 4.5 lengths behind 'War Beast' at this trip Aug. 10. Only his second start, it was his first in N. America and first for trainer Rich Baltas. Blinkers are added for this, and he must be left in the mix.
