Top pick: #6 (BOUNCED BACK) - Son of Afleet Alex drops for his second back off a long layoff. Away from action from Oct. 9th to July 2nd, trainer Sam Cronk ran him "over his head" and on the grass in his come-backer and colt raced evenly while far behind. Barn brings him back quickly, drops him in price, and moves him back to the main track. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Diamond County) - Grey gelding has proven competitive several times at this level nd finished second here at this price June 6th. There's lots of speed signed-on and that should help his closing style out.
3rd pick: #1 (Concerto's Relic) - He'll be trying winners for the first time following a 10 length win facing a weak field on June 28th. Improving, has the rail, and fine early speed. Dangerous if he repeats his latest "figure."
