Top pick: #2 (TEAHUPOO) - Price play was claimed two back by Jeremiah Englehart for $16K and raced evenly while wide here on July 25th going 7 furlongs in his first for the new barn. Barn wins at a 24% rate on this stretch-out move and grey gelding should secure the rail at the break. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Smart Farda) - He was scratched out of yesterday's finale to await this spot. Drops to a new low and trainer Ken McPeek will remove this 3-year-old's blinkers after a two race experiment. Son of "Smart Strike" has positional speed and is a win threat.
3rd pick: #4 (Two of a Kind) - The probable favorite, he finished second last out at Delaware racing at this level. He's a bit "shaky" as he's broken slowly in both outings, but the presence of Dominguez is a plus. Contender, but at low odds.
