(# 3) LOVE THEM BLUES - May be able to out foot them off the big drop in class. Two turf sprints should have him fit for the return to the dirt. Raced well, showing speed against better to begin his career. Wire-to-wire threat.

(# 6) Stash Your Cash - Logical selection, and possible favorite, has run well in last pair, one on the grass and one at this level at Monmouth. Has the best running style, a close-up stalking style. The horse to hold off late.

(# 10) Ponche's Punch - Blinkers go on runner who appears to have been raced into shape with a series of longer races. Today he cuts way back in distance for this attempt. Big work on August 25 for this.

(#'s 4 and 7) El Rojo and Fiery Sky - Both of these runners have some speed, but I think they should be used in small exacta boxes with the top two selections.
