Top pick: #6 (FLIP FLOP) - Speedy gelding has won 13 times during his career and is 10-for-46 locally. He's (7-2-2-2) this year and last out finished second at this level and distance after setting the pace until the final 1/16th. Tough to beat this evening on the front end.
2nd pick: #7 (Days of Lightning) - He stalked "Flop" last out, and after making a strong bid in mid-stretch, weakened to finish fourth, two back of that rival. Effort was his best overall since coming back from a 10 1/2 month layoff in early April and he'll be competitive again tonight.
3rd pick: #1 (Hour by Hour) - He ships back from Mt. Pleasant Meadows in Michigan and he ran an even fourth there facing a bit tougher July 15th. Likes this surface, has the rail, and is a big factor with his best.
