Top pick: #4 (STORMING BACK) - Gelding finished second here on June 27 racing at this level in his first on this surface after coming here from Oaklawn Park. Arkansas-bred race well in his native state for trainer Steve Asmussen without getting his maiden win. Meets a very weak field and he should get his picture taken today.
2nd pick: #1 (Nickysdancinagain) - Drops and makes his third start off a three-month absence. He chased the pace in his latest and tired badly in that mile contest racing for $25,000. Previous run saw him finish fourth at that same price sprinting. The main rival.
