Top pick: #1 (DIXIE MOUNTAIN) - Speedy gelding races today off of his 3rd straight claim and he's now in the "high energy" barn of Chris Richard. New trainer is having just an outstanding meet (131-55-28-20) and wins at a 33% rate first off a "halter." Has the rail, the best early speed, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Good Question) - Trainer Ingrid Mason is having a strong meet at Arlington and sends this 5-year-old here rom Churchill where he tired in his latest. Previous effort saw him run third here and he has some back class to call upon. Can contend at a square price.
3rd pick: #7 (T.C.Champ) - He chased and weakened here at this price June 13 and was 2 1/2 lengths back of "Dixie" at the wire. Claimed that day by Randy Morse, he's given him almost a month of freshening and brings him back at the purchase price. Veteran should be competitive in this spot.
