Top pick: #5 (ESCROW KID) (5-2) - New York shipper has won here in the past and will be dropping in class following a two month break. One-run type is in a top barn (Rudy Rodriguez) and there's plenty of speed signed on to help set up his late charge.
2nd pick: #2 (Piquant) (3-1) - In career best form, speed/stalker likes this surface (9-3-3-1), and was a winner here on July 13th when facing a bit weaker. Very dangerous.
3rd pick: #1 (Res Judicata) (7-2) - He's the only 3-year-old entered, brings some serious early speed, and draws the rail. Home-bred by "Smarty Jones" is a win candidate in this spot.
4th pick: #3 (High On Candy) (8-1) - He raced evenly before weakening here at this level on July 8th. The race was his first in eight months and he should move forward enough today in his second back to contend at a nice price.
