Top pick: #1 (WANDER TIME) - Speedy and he's coming off a wire-to-wire win at Penn National on July 29 in his best race in eight months. Repeat of that effort and he could be long gone. Part of an entry.
2nd pick: #1a (Treasure Seeker) - Has some finishing power in a race where the pace could collapse late giving him a solid chance. He's coupled in the wagering with the top pick.
3rd pick: #7 (Pavo) - Tough call as one time stakes winner returns from a Dec '07 layoff and running for $5K. Scratched two weeks ago, the assumption is that trainer (Tony Dutrow) has him ready, for someone might still want to claim him. Local work on August 1 was encouraging.
