Top pick: #5 (MANAGED ACCOUNT) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he ships in from Delaware where 5-year-old by "Malibu Moon" was beaten just under a length when racing on June 11th. Multiple stakes winner has gone 17-5-6-2 over the past 17 1/2 months and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Roadhog) (2-1) - Hard-hitting veteran is racing third back off a 5 1/2 month layoff and will be going turf to poly and dropping in class. Seven-year-old won the $76K "Leemat" stakes here at this distance 11 months ago in his only previous race on this surface. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Catalactic) (4-1) - A bit of an all-or-nothing performer, he's gone 17-6-0-1 during his career and is 8-3-0-0- locally. He ships in from Mountaineer Park where he finished a strong third when racing on the grass and will be running third back from a 10 1/2 month layoff.
4th pick: #1 (Kelly Rock) (6-1) - Gelding raced evenly here in a sprint on June 2nd in his first race since Nov. 10. Strong finisher stretches out and has an excellent record at this mile trip (9-4-3-1). He's gone 4-1-2-0 here in the past and would benefit if the pace was fast and/or contested.
