Top pick: #4 (WIE EIN STEIN) - Lightly-raced and speedy, he finished second last out at this price and distance and was claimed by the leading trainer at this meet (Juan Vazquez). Gelding likes this surface and Vazquez wins at a 32% rate first off the claim. The top pick.
2nd pick: #5 (Debby's Poppy) - He ships in from Ellis Park where he ran second at this price and trip July 2nd. Goes first time for Jamie Ness (a 33% winning angle)and that effort in Kentucky was his first race in a year. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Tip of the Sword) - Improving sort missed by a neck here at this price June 4th and was claimed that afternoon by trainer Hassan Elamri. Four-year-old gelding finished an even fourth in his first for the new barn and has had a month since that effort. Can factor with his best.
