Top pick: #2 (FOLLOWMYFOOTSTEPS) - Longshot is best used as a stalker and tired last out after being involved in a fast pace duel at Delaware July 16 in the $100K Sussex S. Gelding is one of two entered who has won here before and he did it last year at 13-1. Can be involved from start-to-finish and is trained by Tom Voss, who trained the horse this race was named after (John's Call).
2nd pick: #1 (Kindergarten Kid) - Lightly raced, talented, and still improving. Gelding by the distance loving "Dynaformer" comes off a career best at Belmont when winning June 24 and has an excellent grass drill on the training track July 29. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Simmard) - Woodbine shipper always gives his best and his trainer Roger Attfield is no stranger to winning on this course. This 6-year-ols fits at this level, the distance isn't an issue, and he had a big bullet drill in Canada before coming south. Must be left in the win mix.
