(# 1) JULY CHILD - Drops down to claimed level for top trainer Jane Vaders. Goes to stable rider Frank Pennington. Draws rail, has sprint speed and showed slight improvement in latest try.

(# 9) Southern Trieste - Main speed rival to our top pick. In and out form on view a bit of a concern. Never raced this low and that must be viewed with suspicion. Outside draw may give advantage to rail runner.

(# 5) Moredor - Fields most consistent closer. Has put together 6 of 7 fair efforts all at this level after clearing a condition with last victory in June. Should pick off a few in the stretch.

(# 2) Veredus - Last two produced strong rallys for 2nd place finishes. This claiming price is where he belongs. Inside post may allow him to save some ground before commencing his bid.

$5.00 to win and place on # 1.
$2 exacta box on 1/9.
$2 straight exactas on 1/2, 1/5, 9/2 and 9/5.
Total Wager = $22.00
