Top pick: #1 (Entry of 1-BUMP START & 1a-Runkle) (9-2) - This entry from trainer Kellyn Gorder has jockey Mike Mena listed on both halves, so it's likely only one will go. "Bump" is working sharply for his debut, and "Runkle" is working fast since finishing fourth in a Churchill stakes.
2nd pick: #9 (Whyprolongthagony) (3-1) - He rallied to finish second when debuting here on July 23rd, and is from a strong second out barn (Steve Margolis 24%). Major player in this spot.
3rd pick: #3 (One Voice) (9-2) - He has the rail, and debuting son of "Silver Train" hails from the leading trainer at this meet (Tom Amoss). Barn wins at a 22% clip first out, and colt must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #8 (Overton Square) (15-1) - Longshot is from a winning barn (Brad Cox), and the trainer has won with three of his last 10 making their debuts.
