Top pick: #3 (HE AIN'T BLUFFING) - Stretch-out sprinter has shown fine early speed in both appearances and trainer Rick Dutrow wins at a 26% rate on the distance increase. Gelding runs second back off a five and a half month layoff and is working fast. Dominguez is back on the re-ride.
2nd pick: #2 (Port Conway) - Gelding by "Street Sense" has been freshened up since finishing third in a sprint at Monmouth Park. He's working nicely for his first around two-turns and trainer Kiaran Mclaughlin has good stats in the relevanl catagories.
3rd pick: #1 (Street Ballad) - Another runner by "Street Sense", he raced wide and evenly in a grass race here at this price tag July 25th. Goes turf to dirt, has the rail and Cornelio Velasquez is back on the re-ride. Can factor, and he's one of two entered here by trainer Jimmy Jerkens and the pair race uncoupled.
