Top pick: #8 (SWIFT EAGLE) - Recent maiden winner is clearly improving and has both speed/stalking ability. 5-year-old gelding by "Birdstone" has worked locally four times during July and three of those have been well above average.
2nd pick: #10 (Dugan Bill) - He ran a career best when winning $425K at Hollywood June 22nd and is training sharply for this attempt. Runs off a Paul Aguirre claim and this gelding has back class to call upon.
3rd pick: #4 (Tribal Desert) - Lightly-raced gelding hasn't raced since finishing a rallying fifth here 11 months ago racing at this level. Training fine for his return and is a threat if ready.
