Top pick: #3 (WHISKEY BRAVO) (6-5) - Veteran has more grass wins (four) than the rest of this field combined. Speed/stalker has gone 8-3-3-0 this year and last out finished second here in a $300K sprint stakes. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Unitas) (10-1) - Price play has won twice sprinting on the turf and enters off the same last race as "Bravo." He tired while wide that day and draws a nice cozy outside post for his stalking style. Can factor at a square price.
3rd pick: #1 (Win Lion Win) (4-1) - Lightly-raced gelding was an impressive gate-to-wire winner here in an off the turf contest at this trip on June 11th. Has the rail, plenty of early zip, and he has the shortest way home.
4th pick: #2 (Smoke it Right) (7-2) - Once promising 6-year-old has some physical issues and is racing off yet another layoff. He has fine speed from the gate and is bred to like the turf, which he's racing on for the first time.
