Top pick: #6 (SALT POWER) (7-2) - Gelding comes off a career best when he finished thirdhere at this tag and trip Aug. 1. It was his second back from an 11-month layoff and it's Bill Antongeorgi off and Raf Bejarano on. The top pick.
2nd pick: #11 (Gospel Music) (9-2) - Four-year-old ran evenly while finishing fourth here at this tag July 18th. He's worked fast since and draws a nice outside post at this 6.5-furlong distance.
3rd pick: #8 (Golden Chalice) (6-1) - Colt has been heavily bet in all four starts and comes off an even effort here at this level going a mile July 18th. That was his first on a synthetic surface and it was a positive effort. Can factor on the cutback.
4th pick: #2 (Forest Romance) (8-1) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old has raced evenly in all three starts and comes off a third place finish here at this tag on Aug. 1. He's worked since, is in a top barn (John Sadler), and must be left in the mix.
5th pick: #1 (Ron's Boy) (12-1) - Grey gelding is racing third back off a 7 1/2 month layoff, has the rail, early speed, and is getting the addition of blinkers. Don't just dismiss.
