Top pick: #3 (CURRENCY SWAP) - He looked super when rallying from just off the pace to win the Amsterdam Stakes (G2) here going 6.5 furlongs July 29th. Effort came off a seven week break and he's now a perfect 3-for-3 on this course. He's come back with a bullet work at Monmouth a week ago and can take this with a "clean" trip.

2nd pick: #9 (Trinniberg) - Speedy and talented, he's a specialist at this distance (4-3-1-0) and and has been freshened-up since July 7th when he missed by a neck in a G3 stakes at Calder. Colt has a trio of local works showing and draws an advantageous outside post.

3rd pick: #10 (Doctor Chit) - He couldn't hold off "Swap" last out after setting a fast early pace, but held gamely to finish second. Lightly raced, still improving, and he's in the Pletcher barn.
