Top pick: #5 (ANOTHER GULCH) - Just missed three back at tis tag and distance. Had a poor post (12) in his next at Saratoga, then was eliminated at the start of his latest. Big shot at the win, and at a square price.
2nd pick: #3 (Frenchman's Cove) - Claimed last out by Chad Brown from Graham Motion for $35,000. New trainer has done well with his claims, and he runs him back at the same tag with "blinkers" on.
3rd pick: #4 (Monsooned Malabar) - Improving since coming to the Gary Contessa barn. Runner has finished close-up in his last three at Saratoga, all at this claiming price. Contender from mid-pack.
4th pick: #6 (Classic Impact) - Appears to be racing himself into shape and he brings a strong closing kick to the contest. Fits at this tag but needs to finish just a bit better.
