Top pick: #4 (WRITINGONTHEWALL) (4-1) - Veteran races first off a Dave Jacobson claim (26%) and he brings him back four weeks later with a slight rise in price and will be switching him from turf to dirt. Speedy sort just missed in a grass sprint the day he was claimed and can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #5 (Ground Force) (7-2) - Hard-hitter chased and tired to finish fourth at Belmont facing tougher on July 6th. Trainer Jay Servis has given him a bit of a freshening and this 5-year-old has run well on this surface in the past without winning (3-0-2-1).
3rd pick: #3 (Driven by Solar) (6-1) - Nine-time winner races first off a John Toscano claim and he'll add blinkers to this 7-year-olds equipment. Can factor with his best, and at a square price.
4th pick: #1 (Crackerjack Jones) (3-1) - He's very lightly raced and was a winner here on July 20th when facing weaker. Speed/stalker has worked fine since and draws the rail, but faces a much tougher group this afternoon and will be over-bet.
