Top pick: #4 (MASTER) - Freshened up by trainer J.P. Terranova since an early July debut at Belmont where he showed good speed. Well-backed at the windows that day, he has a pair of "bullet" drills in his holster leading into this. Moves to the infield where he had a great work on the grass August 1.
2nd pick: #8 (Mesa Sunrise) - Another who was well bet in his first appearance which was on the dirt here on August 13. He comes back quickly for start number two and switches to the turf. This race may have been their intended target.
3rd pick: #5 (Maloof Magic) - Son of "Tale of the Cat" ran evenly while very wide in his Churchill debut on July 2. On the shelf since, he returns with lasix administered and a bullet work on August 7.
