#11 RIPKEN (ML=5/1)
#1 FLEETING ATTE (ML=7/2)
#3 GIANTSBANE (ML=6/1)
#9 BOFFO KID (ML=20/1)
RIPKEN - Dilodovico brings him right back. I advocate you stay with this live gelding. Just missed hitting the board on Jul 16th at Laurel. With pretty decent odds today, he has my interest. FLEETING ATTE - McDermott has a very great win percent in turf routes. This gelding should be ready to win. This gelding is in good form, having run a strong race on July 16th, finishing second. Earnings per race is something that I feel can be a valuable handicapping factor. This horse is ranked numero uno in this bunch. The improved speed figs over the last 3 races is strong. McDermott drops him in this clash fit and ready to go. GIANTSBANE - The jock and handler combination here have a high win percent when they team up. This horse broke from the outside at Colonial Downs last time out, racing 1 1/16 miles, but is getting a low post in this race, which should help his chances today. BOFFO KID - The rider/trainer tandem of Aviles and Doran has a strong ROI together. Lets try to beat the low-odds horses with this gelding. Just missed last out, but ran a pretty decent race. Going on Lasix for the first time. While a common handicapping angle, it's still quite important when deciding on your contenders.
Vulnerable Contenders: #7 CALIPARI (ML=7/2), #4 THE LAST SCIP (ML=4/1), #14 TWICE GOLD (ML=5/1),
CALIPARI - Finished fourth in his most recent race with a mediocre speed figure. When I look at today's Equibase class figure, it would take an improved performance to triumph after that in this field. THE LAST SCIP - Probably won't make much of a mark this time out. TWICE GOLD - When examining today's class figure, he will have to garner a much better rating than last out to battle in this turf route.
