Top pick: #1 (HIGH MYSTERY) - Lightly-raced and speedy colt was an impressive wire-to-wire maiden winner here on June 13, but tired a month later after pressing a fast pace in an entry-level allowance in his first facing winners. On the sidelines for the past 3 1/2 months, trainer Juan Vazquez drops him into a claimer for his return and grey 3-year-old has the rail. Working fine and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Leap of Will) - Speedy gelding was competitive here facing tougher during the spring/summer and is racing back into shape following a two month freshening. His latest at Laurel was sharp and he's a win threat today.
3rd pick: #4 (Silver Prado) - He finished third here two back racing for $20K, then didn't run at all last out at the same price going two-turns on the grass. Barn brings him back in two weeks, drops him down, and moves him back to the dirt.
