Top pick: #5 (MASOCHISTIC) (6-5) - Lightly-raced and talented, he's won two in a row in gate-to-wire fashion, the latest coming here facing a bit weaker going 6.5-furlongs July 31st. It was his first since a maiden win on the Churchill dirt May 3rd and first on a synthetic surface. He's worked well since, is the main speed, and it's his race to lose.

2nd pick: #4 (Celebrity Status) (3-1) - He's gone 4-0-2-1 since dropping down to this level and finished second here going a mile July 26th. In career best form, working well and this shorter trip isn't an issue.

3rd pick: #2 (My Samurai Warrior) (4-1) - No speed type has been sharp in his last pair, both here at this level. Back in shape following two layoffs and a stretch threat in this spot.

4th pick: #6 (Kristo) (8-1) - Colt showed nothing here at this level going a mile on July 26th. It was his first since May 18th and this once promising colt by "Distorted Humor" needs to turn it around in this spot.
