Top pick: #8 (SONG OF STARS) - Well-bred colt was a winner here in late June racing for $15K and trainer Juan Vazquez brings him back off almost a two month layoff racing in a career soft spot. Training steadily for this attempt and stalker should get a fast pace to rally into. The top selection.
2nd pick: #1 (Bonus Coverage) - Drops down a bit after racing evenly at Philly Park three weeks ago racing for $7500. Four-year-old had won two in a row prior to that and speedy gelding draws the rail and will be tough on the front-end.
3rd pick: #6 (Mine N Gems) - Runs out of condition today, but lightly raced and well-bred gelding comes off a sharp race here Aug. 6 in his first race back off a seven week layoff. Has plenty of back class and is a win candidate.
