Top pick: #4 (ROYAL WISH) - Colt by "Chapel Royal" has raced evenly in his first two starts facing much tougher state-bred special weight competition and the successful barn of Bret Calhoun will drop him down into an "open" $15,000 maiden claimer. That's a 27% winning move the trainer and this Okie-bred is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #11 (Triticale) - Much improved race is on view last out in his 2nd start when he finished 4th of 9, beaten just under 5 lengths facing $25K state-breds a month ago. Gelding has enough speed to not let this post hurt his chances and he's a threat from start to finish.
3rd pick: #1 (Latent Prospect) - Colt should fine early speed in his debut here racing for $25,000 on Sep 15th. Son of the speedy "Latent Heat" drops slightly, has the rail, and there's not alot of other visible speed signed-on. Threat on the front-end. Win candidate.
