Top pick: #1 (Parc des Princess) - Speedy colt just failed to hold on in his first U.S. start which came on July 18, at Belmont. Race was his first since leaving his native Brazil last fall and trainer Bob Frankel has done very well with these South American imports before.
2nd pick: #3 (Big Stick) - Improving quickly at this stage, this son of "Grand Slam" will be going for his third in a row today. Stalker draws a good spot and should be in close attendance to the top pick.
3rd pick: #5 (Blue Lion) - Son of "Stormy Atlantic" has had traffic issues in his last pair, including trouble at the start of a race here on August 1. Has a good closing kick and an alert break may be all he needs to impact this late.
