Top pick: #6 (NEW YAWKER) - His lone poor turf race came in his debut and he's 4-1-2-1 since that time. Versatile gelding can be placed just about anywhere and just missed at this level last out. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #10 (Spartan King) - Clearly prefers the grass and speed/stalker moves back to the infield after a start in a "switched" contest last out. Previous run saw him break his maiden at Delaware in "smart" fashion.

3rd pick: #1 (Ninth Client) - Longshot chased from a wide post here on July 29 and draws the inside today as he drops into a claimer. Has some back class and some speed. Live at big odds.

4th pick: #2 (Stroll for Acure) - Drops back into a straight claimer for the first time since his maiden win. Colt has nibbled in his last pair at the starter-allowance level, but he's developing into a deep closer. Needs a fast pace up-front.
