Top pick: #4 (MR NO SOCKS) - Gelding is one of two enterd here by the high percentage barn of Doug Shanyfelt and the pair run uncoupled. Speedy sort has won two in a row at this price facing a bit weaker, but he had some promise early in his career and is stringing starts together following a pair of very long layoffs. His early speed makes hin the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Winning North) - The 2nd of the Shanyfelt pair, he's also won two in a row and is now 3 for 7 when racing on this strip. Speed/stalker has been freshened-up since June 10th and he completes a strong hand from the barn.
3rd pick: #7 (Dancensing) - He's won ten time in 42 starts and is (7-2-0-3) locally. He defeated weaker here at this price and trip July 6th and this consistent veteran doesn't necessarily need the lead to be competitive.
