Top pick: #2 (FOX ROX) (4-1) - All 10 entered are making their debuts, and this son of "Officer" ships in from Finger Lakes for a fine barn (Anthony Ferraro). Colt has some very fast works at his home track, and jockey Pedro Rodriguez makes the 3hr trip east for the mount.
2nd pick: #6 (Double Gold) (3-1) - The probable favorite, he's from the barn of Steve Asmussen, and had a fine five furlong gate work on this surface on July 8th. "Rosie" Napravnik is aboard, and she wins at a 31% rate when teamed-up with Asmussen.
3rd pick: #4 (Sing the Dream) (10-1) - Penn National-based trainer Clovis Crane specializes with 2yos, and this son of "Songanaprayer" has some very quick morning moves on his work tab. Crane's "go to" rider (Veteran Bill Otero) is in for the ride.
4th pick: #7 (Cat Squad) (10-1) - Capable barn (Mike Matz) is known for it's patience, but every year has several 2yo winners either here or at Delaware Park. Their works are fine at Fair Hill and this colt will be a big price.
