Top pick: #9 (UNITY) - Quick colt finished second beaten a 1/2 length here at this tag on June 10. Effort was his first in almost 6 1/2 months and he has a pair of nice works down at Monmouth since. Draws a good outside post for this secen-furlong distance and he's the horse to catch and beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Social Escalade) - Drops from $25,000 down to $15K and makes his first start for "Chip" Dutrow (a 22% winning angle). Sophomore runner tired badly chasing in the mud last out and should run better this afternoon.
3rd pick: #3 (El Borracho) - He finished second at this level last out in his second start for this tag. Runner was facing tougher all winter and ran second four times during that span. Player against this group.
