Top pick: #3 (NON STOP) (4-1) - Gelding has some back class to call upon, and enters this off a close up fourth place finish at Saratoga on July 27 facing slightly better. Veteran fits well with these, and should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into.
2nd pick: #2 (Tizmas) (9-5) - The probable favorite, he runs second off a Dave Jacobson claim, and goes off a three month freshening. Well-bred gelding drops $10K under the purchase price and will be shortening up in distance. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Hewitts) (7-2) - Speedy veteran hasn't run since the spring when his form had tailed-off considerably. Working fast for his return, and he's beaten better than these in the past.
4th pick: #4 (Curve Ball) (12-1) - Longshot tired last out at Saratoga after chasing a quick pace while widest. Effort was his first off a Gary Gullo claim and he drops him a bit this afternoon. Capable of grabbing a share at a big price with his best.
