Top pick: #7 (CIELO SONG) - Goes turf-to-dirt and will make his first start for trainer Gary Contessa off a claim here on August 4. Dirt seems fine off some of his races earlier this year and he could surprise them at a square price.
2nd pick: #6 (Fort Apache Star) - Winner over the course on opening week, he's run well in all of his starts for trainer John Fahey since a claim in early May. Big threat right back.
3rd pick: #1 (Acclimate) - Makes his first start off a recent Enrique Arroyo claim from Gary Contessa. He was returning from a three-month layoff, so he could improve on a couple of angles.
