Top pick: #5 (CHANNEL SURF) - Gelding has been freshened-up by trainer Eoin Harty since rallying to finish third at Del Mar on July 31 in his first grass start. Training both frequently and well above average for this attempt he's the choice in a competitive contest.
2nd pick: #4 (Cook Inlet) - Strong finisher ran second of eight, beaten only a 1/2 length last out at Del Mar in his first ever on the grass. Training nicely for this and he'll be closing fast.
3rd pick: #7 (McCarroll) - Longshot ships from Saratoga where he tired after pressing the pace from a tough outside post. Marty Garcia is signed on and this colt by "Aragorn" can factor at a big price.
