Top pick: #9 (RIDE ME HIGH) (5-2) - The probable favorite, 4-year-old just failed to last after setting the pace here at this tag going a mile on June 26th. Much improved since switching to the turf and he'll be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #1 (Fleet Express) (8-1) - Debuting colt by "Afleet Alex" has the rail and is in a capable small barn (John Good). $55k yearling is working fast locally for his first appearance and can factor if ready.
3rd pick: #3 (Officer Fred) (7-2) - Strong finisher has shown no gate speed in his first pair, but has made up considerable ground in both. He drops back down after facing tougher in his latest and is a win candidate.
4th pick: #6 (Maragon) (6-1) - He moves back in with open maidens and defeating $25K state-breds last out. Four-year-old was disqualified that afternoon for drifting out in the final furlong and he's a late threat in this spot.
5th pick: #8 (Flummox) (8-1) - No-speed type has been freshened up since rallying from far back to check in fourth here at this tag on June 1st. Colt needs a fast and/or contested pace for anything more than a minor award.
