Top pick: #5 (DOCTOR CHIT) (9-5) - Very speedy colt was scratched out of a stakes sprinting on the grass to await this spot. Son of "War Front" comes here off a solid effort at Monmouth on June 22nd in his first start since early October. The 4-year-old ran very well here last year and has been stabled and working at the "Spa" since mid-May.

2nd pick: #3 (Currency Swap) (5-2) - Major stakes winner hasn't raced since late Sept. but has been training fast at Monmouth for his return. Speed/stalker has been sharp in the past when racing fresh and colt is 3-for-4 on this surface.

3rd pick: #4 (Jake n Elwood) (5-1) - Price play finished second to "Belmont Stakes" (G1) winner "Union Rags" when debuting at Delaware Park two years ago and went 8-3-2-0 in 2012 when he becames a stakes winner. Sold privately last winter, colt was a winner over weaker at Philadelphia Park on June 16th in his first for new trainer Bill Mott. Has talent and is a threat.

4th pick: #2 (Saturday's Charm) (4-1) - His lack of speed is a problem and this strong finisher will need a fast and/or contested pace to have a shot at running these down turning for home.
