Top pick: #6 (MARKET NOTES) (4-1) - Colt just missed at this tag and distance at Santa Anita June 26. Four-year-old followed that up with an even and wide trip here facing tougher July 16. He draws a better post today and the drop back down can land him in the winner's circle.
2nd pick: #8 (Proud Captive) (7-2) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old enters off a sharp maiden win here July 17. It was his second back off a year's layoff and he was claimed that day by Gary Stute for $20K. He has plenty of room for upside and is well spotted by the new barn.
3rd pick: #1 (Book Thirty Four) (3-1) - No-speed type is taking a big drop in class after a poor effort facing tougher at Santa Anita June 28. Freshened up since, he's working steadily for the leading trainer at this meet (Doug O'Neill). A fast and/or contested pace would help his chances out.
4th pick: #2 (Fort Cady) (20-1) - Long shot is racing second back from a 70-day break and runs with blinkers off. His last pair of works are on the quick side and he can factor at a big price.
