Top pick: #10 (SOUND OF FREEDOM) (6-5) - The probable favorite, he just failed when debuting here on Aug. 10. Sold for $365K this past March, this son of "War Front" has a sharp work here in the mud just six days ago and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Bird Now) (4-1) - He chased a fast pace and tired to finish fourth when debuting here on Aug. 3. Mary Lou Whitney home-bred has worked fine since and trainer Nick Zito is always better second time out.
3rd pick: #1 (Spun) (6-1) - Son of "Hard Spun" raced evenly and wide after being bumped at the break when debuting on July 5th at Belmont in a grass sprint. Freshened up for the past two months, colt is working fast for this attempt.
4th pick: #5 (Justin Nguyen) (3-1) - He raced wide and rallied to finish second here when debuting in a small field (five) on July 27th. He has a new trainer today (Gary Sciacca) and can factor with a repeat of his first run.
