(# 1 ) LUKE'S FLASH - Everything would appear to be a go for this horse making his second start off of four months on the sidelines. Sprinted at this level on June 20, he ran a troubled fourth at a distance that he's not comfortable with. Had been working well at Saratoga prior to the comeback and he has an excellent work since the sprint try, a four-furlong bullet on July 11. Has speed in a race without any, so a front-running attempt is in store.

(# 2) Wild Vicar - Contessa runner drops to his lowest claiming price ever in making his third start off the claim on May 12. Needs to find his game quickly, as the last two have been poor, but they were against much higher. Barn willing to let him go for $16K, and they paid $30K. Tough call.

(# s 4, 5,7) Storm Whirl,Thunder Anees,Thunder Rai - Would use these three in exacta boxes with the top pick. Smaller on top and larger underneath. All three are in questionable shape, but have races in their past that could make them dangerous.
