Top pick: #8 (TEN CARROT NIKKI) - Logical selection and probable favorite finished second here on August 5 at this price tag. Daughter of "Gold Token" had the rail that day and had to be sent hard. Outside post here could lead to a more comfortable trip as she takes on a field of male rivals. The top selection is from the red-hot barn of Linda Rice.
2nd pick: #7 (One Way Bruce ) - It's hard to believe that trainer Bruce Levine is winless at this meet (36-0-8-3), but that's the case. This gelding by "Dream Run" cost $100,000 and will race in a claimer today for the first time. Working fast and he can contend here.
3rd pick: #5 (Spencirific) - Continues to "nibble" a bit and could do so again with a late rally. A fast/contested pace would move him up to being a late win threat.
