Top pick: #2 (NO SILENT) - Lightly raced, competitive (5-1-4-0), and he missed by a nose here at this level on August 12th. Effort was a career best and it came 2nd back off a two month break and was his first against winners. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Distort This) - One of two runners entered by trainer John Sadler and the pair race uncoupled. He has a flexible running style and should be a square price.
3rd pick: #4 (You Know I Know) - The 2nd of the Sadler pair, he's won two of his last three and last out rallied late to defeat $50K claimerd here on August 10th. Working fast since and a win threat right back.
