Top pick: #6 (ALACO CASTLE) (7-2) - Veteran has carved out a solid career in the mid-west and has gone 9-2-5-0 over the past 16 months. He enters off a huge figure earned at Churchill Downs on June 29th and is making his local debut fresh off a Bob Dibona claim.
2nd pick: #1 (Quinby Pete) (4-1) - Part of an entry from the high-percentage barn of Jamie Ness and he has separate riders listed on each. Well bred, speedy, and lightly-raced, he's won two in a row here after coming off a seven month layoff on June 12th. Four-year-old has stalking ability if necessary and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Unzapped) (5-2) - Gelding is working steadily for his first since finishing fourth here in late May when facing a bit tougher. He'd won his previous start and stalker must be left in the mix.
