Top pick: #5 (O WOW) (2-1) - The probable favorite, gelding takes a big drop in class for this attempt. Stalker has been competitive several times facing state-bred special weights and will be dropping into a claimer for the first time. 4yo meets a weak field and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Nine Iron) (5-2) - Colt has improved noticeably since coming here from Penn National. He's gone 5-0-1-3 since that time on this surface and missed by a length on July 2 at this level. Stretch threat.
3rd pick: #7 (Lori's Coach) (7-2) - Speedy 8yo has tired after setting the pace in a pair here after coming off a 21 month layoff on June 7. His speed makes him a bit interesting in a contest with a lot of stalking types.
4th pick: #4 (Hudatbe) (5-1) - Debuting 5yo has a bullet three-furlong local gate breeze on June 26, and need not be anything special to factor against this group.
