2nd pick: #2 (Awesome Image) (5-1) - He's finished second in two of three starts on conventional dirt and did so here at this claiming price going six furlongs Aug 14. Solid effort was a career best overall and it came following a seven week break.
3rd pick: #6 (Little Mustard) (6-1) - 'Mustard' as finished second in three of his last four starts, all at this claiming price. He likes this distance and one-run type is a factor with his normal effort.
4th pick: #9 (Gavin Streetsense) (12-1) - Longshot was away slowly here racing for twice this tag Aug 11. Bet down to favoritism that day he was racing of a two month break. He's worked since, drops to a new low, and draws a fine post for this trip.
