Top pick: #7 (SADLER POWER) - Gelding showed little on the Kentucky circuit late last year and early into this, but that all changed after a switch to the barn of Pete Walder. Freshened-up for three months, he looked sharp in his maiden win here on June 14, stalking early, bidding, and drawing away. Tries winners and stays at the same $7500 price. Can cause a mild upset.
2nd pick: #5 (Bowie at Saratoga) - The main speed shorten-up in distance and he'll try and open up early and play "catch me if you can." Fits and this abbreviated sprint (five furlongs) looks right for him. Win candidate.
