Premium Pick

Top pick: #2 (CAVE'S VALLEY) - Looks like they're unloading him today as his connections offer him up for $15K. He hasn't "fired" in either start this year facing tougher but veteran had some traffic issues here July 29 racing for $25K. Six-year-old is two-for-four on this surface in the past and can get another win today.

2nd pick: #5 (Successful Score) - He's been freshened-up for the past seven weeks by the sharp barn of Pete Walder and two back at this price he just missed at Delaware Park. Walder specislizes in claimers and annually has a high win percentage (currently 22%). Win threat from just off the lead.

3rd pick: #6 (Power King) - He races first off a Bruce Levine claim (20%) and this lightly-raced colt has fine early speed. Working well locally for his first race since June 23 and must be left in the mix.
