Top pick: #5 (COORDINATE) (3-1) - He had no chance last out after 'stumbling' badly at the start. He's the main speed in here, and this colt by 'Hard Spun' is racing off a 70-day freshening. He 'won' here last year, but was disqualified and placed 2nd. He meets a weak field for the level and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Lucky Leroy Brown) (7-2) - Lightly raced and improving, gelding enters off a 2nd place finish at Belmont July 19 at this level and distance. A career best overall, and stalker draws a nice ground saving post. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Tiz Time to Shake) (10-1) - Longshot is dropping down to a new low in class and enters off a pair of wide and even attempts facing tougher. Gelding by 'Tiznow' can factor today at a big price.
4th pick: #9 (Self Starter) (6-1) - Debuting colt has been in steady training since late May. Ramsey owned runner is in the barn of Mike Maker (21% first time out). 3yo need not be much to factor against this group.
5th pick: #11 (Blast Away) (8) - His marooned post hurts his chances as he'll need to overcome what most certainly will be a wide trip. Improving 4yo can impact if he's able to save some ground.
