Top pick: #2 (CANTONA) - Gelding ran evenly here facing tougher going 6 furlongs July 24th. Race was his first since May 28th and trainer Tony Dutrow brings him back quickly, drops him into a career soft spot, and has him at his favorite distance (7 furlongs). He's 2-for-3 at this trip and meets a very weak field.
2nd pick: #4 (Military Pike) - Grey gelding shortens up in distance and drops a bit in price after a wide and troubled trip on a sloppy track going a mile just 10 days ago. He has some speed and has run well at this price-tag in the past.
