Top pick: #5 (NAVAJO CA LO) (3-1) - Gelding has been freshened up since late May and he finished second at that time when racing at Belmont facing a bit weaker. He meets a very weak field today and the figure earned that day will take this.
2nd pick: #1 (Q Two) (7-2) - The probable favorite, he has the rail and last out he went gate-to-wire at Churchill to break his maiden. That was a career best and he's a strong win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #4 (Golden Nugget) (6-1) - He's improved noticeably of late and ships back from Finger Lakes where he broke his maiden July 21st. Stalker must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #7 (Chrisandlorisposse) (8-1) - Gelding has disappointed a number of times and is taking a big drop in class in his second back from a 7-week break. Capable with his best and expecting him to be competitive this afternoon.
