Top pick: #8 (DRAXWALL WOODS) (9-2) - Very consistent stalker moves off the inside after a series of top efforts at this level. He draws a great post at this trip and can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #4 (Derby Gold) (7-2) - He's improved overall since a claim by Bob Reid, Jr., and speed/stalker likes it here at Philly Park (12-2-6-3). Fits at the level and distance and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Rienzi) (12-1) - Former stakes winner has the rail, some early speed, and is racing first off a Rick Vega claim (21%). He has a shot at a square price with his best.
4th pick: #6 (Razzle Dazzle Man) (8-1) - Longshot enters off a good-looking win here at this distance facing weaker on Aug. 26. The final time was quick, and this well bred 3yo may just now be finding himself.
