Top pick: #14 (AL'S DEPUTY) - Gelding finished a strong second in his debut on July 11 at Belmont. He stayed up near a fast pace, rallied into second and maintained that position late. Normal improvement in start number two can win this.
2nd pick: #6 (Big Gavel) - The fields most experienced runner will be moving back to the dirt after a trio of grass contests. Has run well enough on the main-track to be considered a strong win contender today.
3rd pick: #3 (Livin Large) - Stalker finished second last out on the Belmont turf and will be moving back to the dirt if race is "switched" as expected. Can compete against this group.
4th pick: #9 (Wiseacre) - Working fast and he'll get the adition of blinkers today from trainer Tom Albertrani. Would be in a stalking spot here if he runs. His latest pair of drills say he's ready.
