Top pick: #4 (BARCLAYS BOY) - Presque Isle shipper has been competitive in all three turf starts facing much tougher and is nicely spotted today by trainer Eric Reed. Houghton is signed on and this gelding by "Bellamy Road" is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Warrior Hit) - Lightly raced and improving, he set the pace and weakened to finish third here at this level running on the dirt just four days ago. Blinkers go on, he draws the rail, and moves to the grass.
3rd pick: #10 (Marlette) - He rallied while wide to finish third here at this level and distance on July 31st. Veteran maiiden draws a tough post, but can factor if he avoids a wide trip.
