Top pick: #2 (ALL OF THE ABOVE) - Lightly raced and talented gelding by "Iron Deputy" is vastly improved of late and just missed at Monmouth in the $165K Long Branch S. on July 9. He had won his three previous starts with ease and is working very fast locally for this allowance attempt. His latest "figure" towers over these and it's his race to win or lose.
2nd pick: #1 (Charlies Swell) - Has good early speed and has improved noticeably since trainer Nick Zito started sending him around two-turns. Comes north from delaware where he was an easy maiden winner July 5 and has a bullet work here six days ago. Rail draw is a plus and he's a dangerous rival.
