Top pick: #10 (IN SPEIGHT OFITALL) - Nice debut saw him rally from well off the pace to finish second at Belmont in a grass sprint at this level on July 5th. Colt has worked three times locally since and trainer Rick Dutrow wins at a very strong 42% rate second time out. 4-year-old moves to the dirt, stretches out a furlong, and draws a fine outside post at this trip.
2nd pick: #5 (D'Tiger) - 5-year-old is working very fast for his first race since June 2nd and has been competitive in four straight at this level. Capable from on or just off the pace, and a threat at a nice price.
3rd pick: #6 (Guilt Trip) - Debuting son of "Pulpit" is working fast and has Dominguez signed-on for his first public appearance. All of his works are local and he looks well-prepared by trainer Chad Brown.
4th pick: #4 (Tritap) - Grey colt by "Tapit" hasn't raced since last fall when he finished second in a pair of two-turn contests. Working fine and trainer Steve Asmussen wins at a 19% rate off of long layoffs.
