Top pick: #4 (ROARING CONQUEST) - Lightly-raced gelding was well bet last out but had a tough outside post and raced wide the entire race. His trainer (Bob Reinacher) adds the "hood" today and this runner has a near "bullet" work on August 31. Price play can win this competitive contest at nice odds.
2nd pick: #3 (Runaway Jim ) - Well-backed at the windows in his last three starts he'll stretch-out in distance today for the first time. Stalker has a "bullet" drill on August 31 and he's a win threat today.
3rd pick: #10 (City Train ) - Logical contender finished second here last out at this level and distance and that was his first ever on the turf. Speed/stalker is a win candidate if he repeats that effort.
4th pick: #2 (N P Cat) - Interesting that leading rider John Veelazquez takes this ride as gelding will be a longshot this afternoon. That said his last pair fits with this group and he has a nice inside post. Don't ignore.
