Top pick: #2 (GHOST TO GHOST) (3-1) - Colt is racing third back from a two month break and trainer Brad Cox will drop his price in half and switch him from turf to "poly." Son of "Ghostzapper" broke his maiden on a similar surface on March 15th at Turfway Park and earned the highest figure any of these has achieved that day. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (English Deputy) (4-1) - No-speed type has been freshened up since late May when he was never involved following a slow getaway in a local turf contest. He broke his maiden here in his local debut on May 10th and is working well for this appearance.
3rd pick: #1 (My Pal Paul) (7-2) - Speedy gelding drops down after setting the pace and tiring to finish foruth here at this trip in an entry-level allowance on June 8th. Barn drops him to a new low, removes his blinkers, and he has the rail.
4th pick: #7 (Puttinonashow) (5-1) - Speed/stalker stretches back out in distance after finishing a pace-chasing fourth at this level when going 6-furlongs on June 27th. Gelding by "Put it Back" ran second here at this trip on May 4th.
