Top pick: #6 (DIRTY WATER DOG) - Returns to the track where he's done his best work. Had a wide post and traffic woes in a start at Saratoga against tougher on August 17. Lightly raced, he drops back to the price and scene of his last win.
2nd pick: #4 (Vision of Sunrise) - Drops back down from an allowance to a $35K claimer which was the level of his last win. Has some tactical speed and should be in this from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #13 (Yario) - Needs a pair of scratches to compete. Lightly-raced son of top English sire "Danehill Dancer" has faced tougher his whole career and would be an instant win contender if he were to scratch in.
