Top pick: #7 (DEADLY CATCH ) - Gelding by "Dixie Union" had some traffic issues here July 24, but still ran well that day. Drops and makes back-to-back starts for the first time in his career. Draws outside of the other speed and at this trip that's a good thing. The top pick.
2nd pick: #3 (Grand Strategy) - Gelding has some speed, is in a good barn (Kiaran McLaughlin), and will take that all important drop into a claimer for the first time. Contends today.
3rd pick: #5 (Megaholtz) - The only member of this crew to have won a race (though he was disqualified) and will be cutting-back in distance and dropping into a claimer for the first time.
