Top pick: #7 (THIS AIN'T NO BULL) - One of two entered by trainer Scott Lake and the pair race as separate betting interests. Very speedy gelding by "Holy Bull" takes a big drop in class after tiring facing tougher since breaking his maiden here July 22nd. He'll be very tough to beat if he runs.
2nd pick: #1 (Roi d'Ecosee) - The second of the Lake pair also has fine early speed, is dropping way down, and he draws the rail. Lightly-raced 4-year-old will be going turf to dirt and racing third back off a 11-month layoff. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (So Bold) - Another taking a sizeable drop, but he's not as fast from the gate as the Lake duo and will need to avoid a wide trip. Can factor at a square price from off the pace.
