( # 4) WESTERN BLUFF - Three back he was beaten back into second by Wheels Up At Noon, who is developing into a very nice horse. Ran to a second-place finish this past Saturday in a stake at Delaware. Throw out his last in the slop, and his two tries for trainer Breen off the claim are acceptable. Think he'll run well today at a square price.

(# 2) Turkish Victory - Trainer Dollase traditionally has a couple of winners at this meet. His horses are geared towards speed tries and this runner looks primed to go as far as he can from the nice cozy draw. This is his first time tagged and second off a layoff.

(# 9) Star Studded - Appears to be racing into shape, and last pair represented his two best to this point. Clearly likes grass racing, and has a nice drill on July 18.

(# 's 3 and 10) Lgt. Point and Copy That - In a wide-open race like this, these horses should be used in bottoms of tri's, or exacta boxes with the top two picks.
