Top pick: #5 (ROLLERS) - Easiest kind of win last out in his second back from a layoff. Expensive New York-bred ($500,000) has always displayed big talent and he looks headed into stakes competition shortly. Makes it two in a row today. Ability to rate a bit makes the difference.
2nd pick: #2 (Benny the Waiter) - Sharp win over the top pick on July 26, when Coa out-rode Dominguez. Race was by far his best ever and he's worked sharply since. Draws the rail and has plenty of speed.
