Top pick: #8 (EXLEY) - Florida shipper was well-backed at Calder in his debut July 17, but had a slow start from his inside post and finished sixth of a dozen. Has a pair of nice local drills off a trainer switch to Seth Benzel and colt will face-off against fellow state-breds for the first time. The top pick.
2nd pick: #4 (Private Rules ) - He broke well here in his debut and showed good early speed before "lugging-in" and fading late. Lasix is added today and he has a near "bullet" drill August 2. Price play.
3rd pick: #5 (Cooks Forest) - He didn't break all that sharply from the rail in his debut but raced in an encouraging fashion once away. Moves off the inside and he should improve second out.
