Top pick: #8 (CAIXA ELECTRONICA) - Veteran stretch runner is at his best distance (19-8-0-6) and is (7-2-1-2) locally. There's plenty of speed in here to set up his late run and 7-year-old has been working fast in preparation for this stakes.
2nd pick: #4 (Associate) - One of two entered by trainer Rick Dutrow and the pair race uncoupled. He's a perfect 3-for-3 on this surface and his record at this distance is (4-2-1-1). Very sharp right now and a win candidate.
3rd pick: #10 (Little Drama) - Not as talented as his brother "Big Drama", but speed/stalker is very sharp right now and is working fast for this attempt. This is his favorite trip (6-3-0-2) and 4-year-old draws a great post for his style.
4th pick: #9 (Goldigger's Boy) - Another who likes this distance (8-3-3-1) and two back at Saratoga he finished second in the G3 James Marvin Stakes. Last out he tired going a mile here in a strong field and the return to this 7 furlong trip is a big plus. distance
