(# 9) CARSON CAMP - Logical pick and favorite. Comes here from Saratoga where he was claimed in late July by trainer Tony Dutrow. Has speed and stalking ability and a good post to employ whatever strategy they go with. Clean break and he'll be awfully tough here.

(# 6) Master of Dance - Continues to run competitive races without getting the job done. Has speed and may actually out-break the pick. Doubt he can hold him off.

(# 2) Dynamite Diamond - Claimed, goes up in price and new trainer Hooper adds blinkers today. Has shown some speed and may out-run his odds.

(# 1) Big Jim M. - Been away a long time for a very patient trainer. Has back races that are more than adequate with these and there is a good recent drill showing. Can factor if ready off the year+ layoff.
