Top pick: #4 (DIMPLES) - Kentucky invader ships in for trainer Mike Maker and home-bred has been in steady training since early June. A bullet work from the gate August 18th suggests her readiness and Maker is more than capable first out.
2nd pick: #1 (Denali Thunder) - Daughter of "Forest Danger" hasn't shown much in a pair of starts at Prairie Meadws, but she had some serious issues at the break in each. Has the rail and no doubt has more talent than she's shown so far.
3rd pick: #5 (My Friend Wes) - Prepared for her debut at River Downs by trainer Bob Kline, filly has four works on view and three have been of the "quick" variety. Nice to see a River Downs regular (George Lagunes) come in for the mount.
