Top pick: #8 (WILD) (8-1) - One of two entered by trainer Jeff Mullins and the pair race uncoupled. He's been racing evenly of late, but meets a pretty weak looking group in today's finale. Can take this at a big price with just a bit of improvement.
2nd pick: #5 (Aaron Again) (9-2) - Speedy gelding has been competitive in four straight racing at this tag. Freshened up since July 3, he's working above average and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (All Star Parade) (5-1) - Colt has been on the sidelines since late June. He's shown little in three facing tougher and will take a sharp drop while adding blinkers.
4th pick: #2 (Ghost of Navigator) (7-2) - No-speed type rallied to finish third here at this tag and trip Aug 6. It was his first off a claim and best overall since March 19. The faster the pace, the better his chances.
5th pick: #12 (Lucky Shoes to Win) (5-1) - The second of the Mullins pair, he moves off the rail after being sent hard last out before tiring. Fits on figures if able to avoid a wide trip from this outside draw.
