Top pick: #8 (HILLSWICK) - Claimed in early June by Dave Jacobson for $50K, following a 7 week freshening he was an impressive winner in a starter-hdcp here on July 25th. Hard-hitter drops back to the purchase price today and can take another with a repeat of his last effort.
2nd pick: #2 (Closerwalk) - Very fast from the gate, he set fast fractions and tired in the last furlong to finish fourth here at this level July 28th. Colt had the outside post that day and moves to the rail for this attempt.
3rd pick: #6 (Take Down Two) - Veteran has visited the winner's circle 14 times including August 15th when he was victorious on this surface facing weaker. Claimed that day by Dom Galluscio for $25K, he brings him back in 17 days and doubles him up in value.
