Top pick: #2 (GRASSY) - Lightly-raced 5-year-old is one of two entered by trainer Chris Clement and the pair will race as separate interests. Consistent sort just missed in late June at Woodbine in the G3 Singspiel S. and is working steadily for this. Grey son of "El Prado" wasn't a factor in last year's edition of this stakes, but is a better horse now. The top pick in a tough race.
2nd pick: #3 (Rahy's Attorney) - Canadian shipper has banked just over $2M in earnings and brings solid early spedd to the contest. Seven-year-old home-bred has won at this demanding 12 furlong distance in the past and is a threat from on, or just off the lead.
3rd pick: #7 (Teaks North) - He's in career best form at present havin won the G3 Monmouth and the G1 United Nations in his last two starts. Working fast for this and he'll get away at a nice price today.
4th pick: #5 (Boisterous) - The type that can "run all day" and this colt by "Distorted Humor" is improving at this point and finished third last out in the G1 Man O'War to English invader Cape Blanco and the hard-hitting Gio Ponti. Don't just dismiss.
