Top pick: #4 (FIDDLER'S AFLEET) - He looked super at Belmont in winning a state-bred allowance July 18th. Effort came in his first after shipping back from California after a pair of solid efforts facing "open" foes in a pair of stakes. His "A" race wins this.
2nd pick: #3 (Legal Consent) - Consistent sort and a three-time stakes winner has been freshened-up since a 4th place finish at Finger Lakes in the "New York Derby". May not want this distance but his fine positional speed should have him in it turning for home. Contender.
3rd pick: #2 (Tall Popi) - Has a solid race at this distance over the track, finishing a close-up 4th August 9th facing a field of older "optional"-claimers. Exotics player should sneak away at a square price.
