Top pick: #6 (SALTY RIM) (6-1) - Colt chased and tired badly when debuting here in a grass sprint at this level on July 8th. Trainer Mike Laurer has done well at this meet with second time maidens, and this 2yo by "Limehouse" had a bullet work on July 31st. He moves him to the dirt for this assignment, and can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #3 (Paul Reiff) (7-2) - Debuting son of "A P Warrior" is from a good barn (Tony Granitz), and had a near bullet half mile gate work on July 26th. Granitz wins at a 14% clip first out, and this home-bred is in the mix.
3rd pick: #4 (Thurman) (10-1) - He raced wide and evenly when debuting here at this level & distance on July 29th. Home-bred has a better post for this outing, and trainer Barb McBride will add blinkers.
4th pick: #2 (What's a Yat) (10-1) - He was bet down to favoritism when debuting in the same July 29th race as "Thurman," and tired after chasing the early pace. Gelding is brought back quickly by trainer Merrill Scherer, and breaks just off the rail.
