Top pick: #7 (SIR ED) - Lightly-raced gelding by "Lion Heart" runs first off a Bill Spawr claim and he brings him back a month later at the purchase price. Stalker has a nice work five days ago that suggests that he's doing well and 3-year-old meets a weak field in this spot. The top pick.
2nd pick: #4 (Classy Lion) - Has good early speed and drops in half after a very poor effort last out. Race was his first off a Steve Knapp claim and the day he took him for $12.5k 3-year-old won here July 20. His speed makes him dangerous.
3rd pick: #1 (Orbach) - Has the rail, is working very fast, and runs today off a trainer change to Doug O'Neill. Very lightly raced and the new barn removes this gelding's blinkers for this attempt.
