Top pick: #5 (LONE JUSTICE) - Speed/stalker comes off a good looking maiden win here three weeks ago and is nicely spotted in this starter-allowance for his first start facing winners. In a good barn, he has a pair of sharp works since the win and gelding is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Lucky Fitz) - Claimed July 21 at Del Mar for $25K, his new trainer Mike Pender ran him once in early August when he tired at this level on the turf. Working fast for his first race since Aug. 5, he draws a nice post in this small field and is a win threat if he brings his best.
