Top pick: #3 (KEEP RIGHT) (5-2) - Broman home bred has finished second in five of seven dirt races all at this level and distance. Daughter of "Street Cry" chased and held down the place spot here July 24th to a filly ("Miss Electronica") who came right back to win another the other day. She's running second off a seven week break and worked a bullet half-mile on Aug. 5.

2nd pick: #5 (Kleptocrat) (4-1) - Lightly-raced and speedy, she tired after rushing up following a poor start and being forced into a wide trip here July 23rd. Think she should be involved every step with an alert getaway.

3rd pick: #9 (Senso) (3-1) - Filly raced within range before tiring here after breaking from a tough outside post July 23rd. It was her first off a Dave Jacobson claim and first since coming east from California. Barn is heating up a bit after a very slow first half at this meet and this lightly-raced filly must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #2 (Penella) (5-1) - Daughter of "Bluegrass Cat" rallied to finish a distant third here on July 24th, but was only a "head" behind "Keep Right." Useful effort and she can impact today from off the pace.
