Top pick: #4 (WESTERN FABLE) - Stretches-out to a distance off a good sprint try in his racing debut on July 30. Bet to favoritism that day, he raced between runners much of the way and finished an even and close-up fourth. He has a very sharp work on August 22, and he's the choice for the win.
2nd pick: #2 (French Action) - Firster will debut for the Todd Plertcher barn and he has a very good turf work showing on August 1. Stable's main jock, Johnny V. is aboard.
3rd pick: #10 (The Cuff Shooter) - Didn't run a lick in his debut at Belmont on July 10, on a muddy track. Has a strong series of turf works for this and his sire, "Western Expression" is great with his grass runners. Could improve at a big price.
