Top pick: #3 (DANCE FLOOR MANIAC) - The probable favorite finished 2nd beaten a length at this price and distance June 22. Has a fine grass record (6-2-2-0) and is (5-1-2-0) on this surface. Speed/stalker wins this by repeating the "figure" he earned last out.
2nd pick: #1 (Shotgun Duty) - Dangerous rival was claimed by the "high energy" barn of Chris Englehart in late March at Gulfstream for $10K and was immediately sent in for a three month break. Gelding just missed in a sprint on the Presque Isle "poly" when returning June 25. Barn brings him back quickly, will move him to the grass and stretch him out in distance. He'll be in this from start to finish at a big price.
3rd pick: #5 (Hurricane Heat) - Trainer Gary Sciacca has had a good meet from his mostly low level claiming barn, and this veteran has finished second in two straight at this price on the main track. Moves back to the grass and he ran evenly in a pair on the turf facing tougher earlier in the meet.
