Top pick: #8 (CREA'S LAW) - Colt raced wide and evenly here at this condition going 6 furlongs August 20 and trainer Todd Pletcher will add blinkers for the first time. One-run type draws a good post, stretches-out a bit in distance, and makes back to back starts for the first time since last fall.
2nd pick: #4 (Southbeachsandy) - The probable heavy favorite had a terrible trip here at this level and distance August 6 and trainer Tony Dutrow has worked him twice since. Dominguez (who knows him well) is back aboard after a one race absence. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #12 (Wee Freudian) - He just failed here at this trip August 6, and has now put together a string of four solid starts. Draws well in the gate, has a maintenance drill six days ago, and looks set for a big effort.
