Top pick: #6 (FIDDLER'S AFLEET) - He was beaten by a pair of today's rivals last out, but he did alot of the dirty work by chasing a very quick pace while wide and tiring when they hit the stretch. Trainer Dave Jacobson has worked him three times since ( an unusual move with a 6yo ) and think he's set for a big effort.
2nd pick: #1 (Sailmate) - Lightly raced and talented, he cuts back to his favorite distance 9 2 for 2) after giving the heavy favorite ("Lunar Victory') a scare her going 9 furlongs July 23rd. That veteran came back to win again last week and this colt had a bullet 3 furlong breeze three days ago. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Johannesburg Smile) - Multiple stakes winner going longer, he's been very tough in his two starts at this meet and will be cutting back in distance for this attempt. Draws a nice outside slot and he can factor from a stalking position.
