Top pick: #1 (KIM'S LEADING MAN) - Recent maiden winner was very sharp as he tracked a good pace, bid turning for home, and drew away to an easy 4-length win. Don't normally like horses that needed 20 starts to break his maiden, but his trainer (Barry Abrams)has him nicely spotted as he drops his price in half off the win. Doesn't need much and can make it two in a row.
2nd pick: #5 (Dana Dynamo) - Takes a big drop in price and goes dirt to "poly" for this attempt. Gelding's only win came here on this surface and distance July 3 in by far the best effort of his 12 race career. Has a strong closing kick and is a win threat.
