Top pick: #4 (ELUVIUM) (2-1) - He's stretching out in distance after being competitive in two of three at this tag sprinting on this surface. Stalker meets a weak field and can take this from just off the pace.
2nd pick: #3 (Judge Hassell) (3-1) - Lightly-raced home bred rallied to finish fourth here when making his debut on July 7th going 6-furlongs. Capable barn (Jevon Crumley) brings him back and stretches him out in distance. Three-year-old has room for upside and must be considered a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Lethal Strike) - Another that's stretching out and he's shown some improvement in his last pair. Illinois bred has been defeated by "Eluvium" the two times they've met and needs to do better in today's finale.
