Top pick: #3 (SMOKE TOWN) - Grey son of "Smoke Glacken" raced evenly in his debut facing tougher when debuting here July 21st. Working very fast for this, trainer Rick Dutrow drops him into a high-priced claimer and has his main-rider (Ramon Dominguez) aboard this afternoon.
2nd pick: #7 (Brother Bob) - He improved noticeably in his second start when he chased and rallied mildly to finish third racing here for this tag on July 30th. Trainer Mike Trombetta has worked him twice since and this colt is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Summer Revival) - Well bet in his debut, he set the pace and held gamely to finish second racing for a $25K tag here on August 9th. Claimed that afternoon by Dave Jacobson, he brings him back in 20 days with a confident raise in price and a stretch-out in distance. New barn wins at a 26% off the claim and gelding draws a fine outside post for a 7-furlong trip.
