Top pick: #2 (BLUEGALE) (3-1) - Gelding raced evenly when facing tougher on July 5th, and was away a bit slowly that day. Race was his first in almost four months, and he'll drop to a new low and have his blinkers removed. His trainer (Tom Amoss) is having an unbelievable meet(41 of 104), and his main rider (Leandro Goncalves) is aboard.
2nd pick: #1 (Salt Free) (7-2) - The main speed, and he breaks from the rail. 5yo has been freshened up since March 16th at Oaklawn, and a very good barn (Tim Glyshaw) has him working fast for his return.
3rd pick: #5 (The York On York) (8-1) - Very lightly raced 6yo raced evenly here facing tougher sprinting on the grass on July 12th in his first facing winners. Drops, goes turf to dirt, and his best fits with these.
4th pick: #7 (Venture World) (4-1) - Nicely-bred gelding has early speed, and is racing third back from an 11 month layoff. Capable, has back class, and he draws outside of the other speed.
