Top pick: #6 (TOUCH OF POETRY) (3-1) - Entered for the main track only, grey gelding is dropping in class and is training fast locally for his first since June 8th. He has early speed and has been in with some talented runners during his six-race career. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #9 (Frame) (5-2) - Well bred 4-year-old has disappointed a number of times and is racing off a 7-week freshening and dropping into a claimer for the first time. Speed/stalker's best race ever came when he ran 2nd at Aqu. on Feb. 17. That was his only previous race on a wet track and a repeat of it makes him a strong win threat.
3rd pick: #10 (Secret Ops) (8-1) - Improving sort ships back from Monmouth where he raced evenly after a troubled break in a grass sprint. Colt is racing third back off a 3 1/2 month layoff and can factor at a square price.
4th pick: #4 (Captain Keon) (7-2) - As of press time this grass specialist is still in this switched contest. He continues to train nicely on the dirt and is a threat from off the pace if he stays in.
