Top pick: #8 (DISARM) - Claimed in late July at Del Mar for $50K by John Sadler he missed by a head at the purchase price five weeks later and is training very fast on this surface for his first race since then. If he runs to his drills, the rest are in trouble.
2nd pick: #1 (Greeley Awesome) - He had a bit of a troubled trip here when facing special weights, going a mile on the grass just 12 days ago. Trainer Doug O'Neill brings him back quickly, moves him to the dirt, drops him down, and shortens up this colt in distance.
3rd pick: #4 (Mine Fever) - Speedy sort has lost as the favorite in four straight appearances and trainer Peter Miller will remove this gelding's blinkers in an attempt to get him to relax a bit in the early stages.
