Top pick: #1 (HOWELLING WIND) - Very fast from the gate, he's finished 2nd in both local appearances and last out just failed to last racing at this price. Claimed that afternoon by Patty Farro (18% off the claim), she brings him back 4 weeks later at the same level and he draws the rail. He'll be tough on the front-end.
2nd pick: #5 (Lord Chelsie) - He was an easy winner here on this surface on July 1st racing for $16K and last out finished a close-up 4th sprinting on the Saratoga turf July 26th. He'll be racing just off the pace today and is a win candidate.
