Top pick: #4 (MASTERS CIRCLE) - He has early speed and is racing back into shape following a 7 1/2 month layoff. Well bred, he's nearing his best and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Arctic Warrior) - 5yo has been competitive in three straight and ran 2nd here at this tag going 5.5-furlongs July 2. Has the rail, shortens up a bit, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Our Trooper) - Well bred 5yo just missed here when he rallied to finish 2nd falling a 1/2 length short July 2. It was his best since Sept. of 2013 when he went in for several long layoffs. A threat from off the pace.
4th pick: #6 (Nevada City) (20-1) - Not a win threat, and a small slice at a big price is his ceiling.
