Top pick: #5 (DAPPER DRAPER) (8-5) - Lightly-raced gelding by "Distorted Humor" has the best form of those that have raced and will be dropping to the price that Linda Rice claimed him for this past March. He comes off a pair of fine efforts sprinting on the Saratoga lawn and will be moving back to dirt this afternoon. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Streets of Fire) (5-1) - Speed/stalker finally gets a better post after having to be used hard in the early stages of his last several attempts. He has some talent and ran second here for a $30K tag going a mile on June 12th.
3rd pick: #3 (El Dreamer) (5-1) - Stone closer has finished second in 5 of 10 starts this year and has faced some tougher fields than this along the way. Can grab a share with his normal late rush.
4th pick: #8 (Market Blaster) (7-2) - Freshened up since mid-June, he's working well for his return and will be dropping to a new low in price. Trainer Bill Badgett Jr. will also be moving him from turf to the dirt and shortening him up in distance.
