Top pick: #6 (BESSIE'S BOY) (5-1) - Price play was a stakes winner here as a 2yo, but never lived up to that early form. Speed/stalker was a winner here again on May 6 in his second start back from an 8-month layoff. Working well, and the outside post will give apprentice Cruz some early options.
2nd pick: #5 (Blazing Truth) (6-1) - Colt was a winner here June 18 going a mile on the grass for a $40K tag. Score came in his second off 5 1/2 month layoff, and he was claimed that afternoon by Gary Gullo. New barn brings him back quickly, moves him from turf to dirt, and shortens him up in distance.
3rd pick: #3 (Possilicious) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he has fine early speed and just missed here at this distance May 31. Claimed that afternoon by Bruce Levine for $40K, new barn wins at a 24% rate off the claim and raises him slightly in price.
4th pick: #4 (Old Mexico) (4-1) - Kentucky shipper has won two of five overall and is dropping into a straight claimer for the first time. One run type fits with his best, but will need a fast and/or contested pace for anything more than a minor award.
