Top pick: #5 (FORT McCOY) - Linda Rice-trained runner will be making his second start back off a layoff and will drop into a claimer for the first time. Speed has been present in his three career starts and he should offer his best under today's conditions.
2nd pick: #7 (Western Call) - Freshened up since a strong second place finish on this track at this distance and tag in early July. Race was only his second at this $25,000 price after racing against tougher earlier in his career.
3rd pick: #2 (Rock Key) - He's hit the board the last two times he's raced for a tag and that's today's situation. Cuts back to six-furlongs and that appears to be his best distance.
4th pick: #8 (Wanna Winna) - Freshened up since early July when he ran fourth in the same race that "Western Call" is exiting. He's "hit the board" in three of five on this track and is a late threat, especially if the speed collapses.
