Top pick: #6 (WARRIOR POET ) - Speedy son of "Sondandaprayer" chased and tired last out at Delaware at this level on the dirt. Race was his first in four months and trainer Wayne Lukas will switch him over to the grass for this. Has a big shot at a nice price.
2nd pick: #10 (Scorper) - Races first off a Rudy Rodriquez claim (an incredible 58% winning angle) and a subsequent two-month break (another strong angle 42%). Lightly raced he'll be trying a modest field of winners for the first time. The presence of Dominguez adds to the plusses. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Eager Leader ) - Drops after a "troubled" trip here August 2 facing tougher. In the barn of Linda Rice and she's having another fine meet, especially with her sprint performers.
4th pick: #1 (Kick Up Your Heels) - Longshot has the rail and could save enough ground early to rally late to maybe reach the tri and or super at a big price.
