Top pick: #4 (SUMMER BROTHER) (3-1) - Finger Lakes invader was stakes placed as a 2-year-old and heads here off a sharp effort there at this level on the dirt June 22. In shape, blinkers go on, and he can take this if he handles the synthetic surface.
2nd pick: #5 (Singing Monarch) (9-2) - Gelding raced poorly last out after breaking from the rail. Much more competitive in his previous start and think he's a win candidate today.
3rd pick: #3 (Secret Soul) (5-2) - Stretch runner rallied from far back to finish third here at this level and distance July 19. He's racing back into shape and is nearing his best. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #6 (Analyst) (6-1) - Lightly-raced, he's facing winners after breaking his maiden here July 15. Unlike most, he still has room for upside and meets a weak field in this spot.
