Top pick: #7 (BIGBANDIT) (5-2) - Strong finisher rallied to win here at this tag to clear the 2l condition on July 18th. He's since comeback to lose by a neck in his last two starts, and is in career best shape. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Paxmanforpete) (3-1) - Win candidate, he's gone 5-2-2-0 since coming off a seven week break on June 22nd with his only poor effort coming on a sloppy track. The main speed, and he'd be no surprise.
3rd pick: #1 (Odessa Sky) (8-1) - No speed type goes turf to dirt and drops down to the price of his last win. Gelding needs a fast and/or contested pace for any shot at the win.
4th pick: #5 (Cherie's Cascade) (5-1) - Veteran comes off a good effort when he ran fourth last out in his first back off a two month layoff. He was only two back of "Bandit" that day and can factor again this evening.
