Top pick: #4 (RY'S NOT SHY) - Claimed just 12 days ago by trainer Doug O'Neill he runs him back quickly and gelding showed big early speed that day from an outside post before tiring late. Can surprise this crew and go wire-to-wire.
2nd pick: #2 (Olympic Street) - Son of "Street Cry" goes second off a two-month layoff, drops into a claimer, shortens-up in distance, and goes turf to dirt. Lots of thinks to like and he's a major player.
3rd pick: #11 (Sven Diesel) - Nice debut saw gelding put in a strong late rally to finish a fast-closing second here on August 7. Sharp barn(Pete Eurton) has given him almost a month off and runner has a nice maintenance drill on the Aug. 28. Contender.
