Top pick: #4 (NEILOS) (3-1) - He ships back from Monmouth where he finished an even third racing at this tag going 6-furlongs July 3. Four-year-old is racing back into shape following a pair of layoffs and he's won here at this trip in the past.
2nd pick: #6 (Pittsburgh Phil) (9-2) - Speedy sort tired here for a $15K tag at this trip July 7. It was his first off a Juan Guerrero claim and he drops him back down to the purchase price. Capable and his early speed makes him dangerous.
3rd pick: #8 (Cool It) (12-1) - Long shot stretches back out after rallying to finish a distant third here at this level going 5.5-furlongs July 13. It was his best overall since mid-February and 4-year-old would love a fast and/or contested pace to close into.
4th pick: #7 (Firm Believer) (15-1) - Away slowly last out he ran evenly once in stride while never involved. Strong finisher has done all of his competitive racing at this distance and is capable of impacting at a big price.
5th pick: #1 (Chasing Twilight) (5-2) - He ships back from Penn National where he raced evenly while finishing fourth at this tag going a mile July 1. He has some back class and can factor, but will most assuredly be over-bet.
