Top pick: #1 (TAKE DOWN TWO) - Front-runner "dueld" and tired here July 28 in his first race in two months. Claimed that day for $12,500 by Shelliane Brown she runs him back in less than three weeks with a slight raise in price. Has ths rail and the best speed. The top pick, and at a nice price.
2nd pick: #6 (On Deck) - One of a pair of three-year-olds signed-up and he appears to be the more talented one. Gelding by "Grand Slam" broke his maiden at Tampa on December 31 and did not run again until July 7. He showed some good late kick that day and will attempt a two-turn race for the first time today. Nice works are on view. Major player.
3rd pick: #2 (Ferentz) - He's improved dramatically since a claim by Cody Autry in mid-January at the Fair Grounds. Has a flexible style and he's a win candidate.
