Top pick: #7 (SOUL HOUSE) (8-5) - Lightly-raced son of "Limehouse" has been competitive in all four starts and rallied to finish second here at this level and distance on July 20th. Colt had some traffic issues that day and the horse that beat him looks headed for stakes races soon. One-run type should have plenty of pace to rally into and can win this with a "clean" trip.

2nd pick: #10 (Fiona's Hero) (12-1) - He comes off a career best when he broke his maiden by 7 lengths racing at Belmont for a $20K tag on June 29th. Claimed that day by Rudy Rodriguez, he has him working fast locally and his new trainer does well (23%) first off the claim. 3-year-old draws a nice post and is a win candidate at long odds.

3rd pick: #9 (Charlie's Punch) (10-1) - "Charlie" rallied to finish fourth in the same July 20th contest here that is common to several others entered. Can impact late if he doesn't fall too far back in the early stages.

4th pick: #5 (Ambassador Bridge) (5-1) - Veteran rallied to finish second at Belmont at this level and distance in a small field (6) on July 4th. Nice effort came off a seven week freshening and he'll be finishing fast.

5th pick: #6 (Do I Amuse You) (20-1) - Speedy gelding pressed a fast pace and tired during the stretch run in the same July 20th contest as "Soul House." Takes them as far as he can, and at a very big price.
