Top pick: #3 (ME TARZAN) - Fast and consistent (14-3-3-3-) for a low-level claimer, he's been freshened up for the past two months by trainer Richard Vega. Gelding likes this surface (9-2-2-2) and is working swiftly for his return. The horse to catch and beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Crazy Luke) - In-shape runner comes off a smart just "off the pace" win here on July 6. Effort was his first off a four-month break and he has a history of solid work in claimers. Very dangerous opponent from close range.
