Top pick: #6 (DENDRITE) - Long-time maiden bid and levelled off here at this tag on July 15th. Has a flexibly style and several of his recent races have been filled with next out winners. Price play to end the meeting.
2nd pick: #10 (Hidden Vow) - Speedy New York-bred set the pace and held gamely to finish 3rd here at this level August 8th. By far his best to date and he's been given a month to recover. A bullet 3 furlong breeze on the 20th suggests he remains sharp.
3rd pick: #8 (Great Karoo) - Gelding by "Johar" didn't show much here at this tag 11 days ago, but it was his first in almost two months and "Hall of famer" Bill Mott brings him back on short notice. Expecting much better today.
4th pick: #3 (El Dreamer) - Deep closer should appreciate this 9 furlong distance and has been racing evenly for some time now. With just a bit better late energy he has a shot at a big price.
