Top pick: #11 (LEISURELY STROLL) (3-1) - The probable favorite, lightly raced 5yo finished second here at this trip on July 15th, facing slightly better in his first in almost 13 months. Drops a bit, and home-bred is making back-to-back starts for the first time in his career.
2nd pick: #12 (Roan Renegade) (8-1) - Grey gelding finished second here on June 28th in his local debut, but has tired in his last pair at this tag. Owner/breeder/trainer, John O'Meara brings him back quickly for this, and the move to an outside post is a plus in this weak field.
3rd pick: #10 (Inside Trader) (8-1) - He took a bit of money when debuting here facing state-bred special weights on April 24th, and tired badly on the sloppy track. Drops, is working well, and can factor at a square price.
4th pick: #1 (Thats Mybuddy Boy) (6-1) - He was bet down to 4-1 when debuting here at this level here on July 30th, and tired after racing close-up early. Has the rail and can impact with normal second out improvement.
