Top pick: #2 (STREET BOSS) - Enters carefully prepared and set-up nicely by veteran trainer Bruce Headley. Son of "Street Cry*" has had a great year (8-6-2-0) and is the only entrant to have spent his entire career on synthetic surfaces. Nice to see him have a race on this "Pro-Ride", and a strong one at that. Makes his 2nd start off a two month layoff and he is working like a horse who is ready to give 110%. The rail horse is a front-runner, so that should allow this stalker a comfortable trip. The choice for the win.
2nd pick: #3 (Fabulous Strike) - Fast and game, he ran a very strong race last out at Belmont in the "Vosburgh(G1), only his 2nd start in the past year. Multiple sprint stakes winner has raced well at a variety of tracks in his career and he'll be making his first start on an artificial track today. Gelding has trained in fast fashion both at Presque Iasle (a synthetic surface in Western Pennsylvania), and more recently a nice spin over the local main-track. If he gets beat it won't be from the lack of effort (which he gives 100% of every time he runs).
3rd pick: #4 (Midnight Lute) - Easy winner of this race last year on a "sloppy" main track at Monmouth in a very impressive performance. He's battled some breathing problems through-out his career and earlier this year under-went a minor throat operation to clear his passage-ways. He's apparently over that difficulty as his works on this course in the past month are nothing less that sensational. If he brings his best he could run away with this late. Must use in your exotics wagering.
