Top pick: #5 (BROCK) - He cost a cool $2,300,000 and so far has earned back $15K. Nice game if you can afford it. That said, he rallied to finish 2nd at this level going two-turns at Monmouth July 30th and trainer Steve Asmussen has freshened him up since. Meets a weak field, is working well for his return, and this "flat" (one turn) mile should be just right. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Crushing) - He has the best early speed and draws the rail. Grey son of "Giacomo" is working very fast for his first start since July 23rd when he chased an impressive wire to wire until the top of the stretch when he weakened. He could be long gone today if he gets an easy early lead.
