Top pick: #5 (DR. W) - He's developed into a very good sprinter over the past year for trainer Steve Asmussen after having been a bit "faint hearted" earlier in his career. Now has a stalking gear and that's made all the difference. Likes the course (5-1-3-0) and is coming into this off a determined win over "open" foes. The top selection.
2nd pick: #4 (Law Enforcement) - Hard-hitter and probable favorite finished second here on June 18 to "Mor Chances" who would be prohibitive in here. Stakes winner goes third off a five-month break and looks plenty tough. More than worthy opponent.
