Top pick: #5 (CHECKSANDBALANCES) - Once classier gelding was claimed by the high percentage barn of Juan Guerrero July 20th for $5K and he's had this consistent runner freshening-up since. Guerrero wins at an un-heard of rate of 51% fresh off a claim and a 40% clip off of this type of break. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #9 (Fearless Cowboy) - Veteran has finished second in two straight at this price, has fine early speed, and is (5-1-1-1) on wet tracks. There's not a lot of visible speed in here and that makes him a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Go Angel Go) - He has an outstanding record on "off" tracks (16-7-1-4) and comes into this off a third-place finish here on August 22. Racing evenly of late but that slate on "wet" tracks can't be ignored.
