2nd pick: #5 (Solid Friendship) (7-2) - Barn (Randy Russell) has had a strong meet and this daughter of "Borrego" has been competitive in three straight since coming back from almost a nine month layoff in early June. Speed/stalker should be involved from start-to-finish
3rd pick: #2 (Temper Too) (5-2) - Well bred filly is cutting back in distance after finish second here facing "open" special weights going two-turns Aug. 21st. Daughter of "Lemon Drop Kid" had finished 3rd at this level in her previous race and is in the three-horse win mix.
