Top pick: #5 (BIG CITY DEPUTY) - Has excellent early speed and is drawn outside of the other speed, a distinct advantage at this 6.5 furlong distance. Gelding by "Silver Deputy" runs third back off a 13 month layoff, Dominguez is aboard, and this 4-year-old is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Special Action) - Has good early speed and is brought back quickly by trainer Dom Galluscio after grey colt "stumbled" badly at the start here facing tougher on August 3. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (My Piano Man) - Claimed at Churchill in early June by Bruce Brown for $40K and that was his first start in almost 9 months. Working steadily for this and he'll be closing fast.
