Top pick: #6 (TO HONOR AND SERVE) - Trainer Bill Mott ahs said that this talented colt doesn't like hot weather and that could explain his poor effort in the G2 Suburban at Belmont on July 7th. Freshened up since, he's working fast and he's a specialist at this two-turn 9-furlong trip. Looks set up well by his barn.
2nd pick: #3 (MUCHO MACHO MAN) - He's won four of his last five starts including a trio of stakes and last out ran a career best when taking the G2 Sburban at Belomnt. Has a flexible style and is the main danger.
3rd pick: #7 (Cease) - Lightly raced 5-year-old is in a very patient barn (Al Stall Jr) and he's brought this home-bred along slowly. Gelding is a solid 4-for-6 at this trip and won here at it July 25th in very good time.
