Top pick: #5 (OVERAWE) (2-1) - Freshened up since June 13, colt is working steadily here for his return and runs with blinkers off. He raced evenly while very wide going a mile on the last out at Belmont. $235K purchase had finished second in three of his previous four starts and gets a alight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Send It In) (9-5) - The morning line favorite, he finished a pace-chasing second at this level going a mile at Belmont July 3. A career best, it earned him the highest last out figure in this field. In the Pletcher barn and an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Super Psyche) (6-1) - Lightly-raced colt by derby winner 'Super Saver' goes turf to dirt, has Lasix added, and is making back-to-back starts for the first time. Training nicely and Hall of Fame member Bill Mott is of to a great start at the meet 27-7-6-3. Price play.
4th pick: #1 (Mascarello) (10-1) - Long shot has the rail, some early speed, and has been training above average locally for his first since late May. Lightly-raced home bred must be left in the mix.
