No. 6 Cash Now (6-1) won a local turf sprint July 9 and exits a smart victory in a restricted claiming turf route. He improved his speed rating last time and finished nicely that day. A stalking trip is projected and he should offer a hint of value.
No. 5 Artie’s Angel (3-1) rallied to win two of three turf routes since moving to the Kelly Breen barn, and Paco Lopez was aboard for both wins. The sophomore colt needs pace help.
No. 7 Comedic Timing (6-1) missed by a nose in his first start after the claim July 30, and he had an uncomfortable trip in the starter allowance ranks last time. He goes for a recently hot barn and should be heard from in the lane.
No. 8 Sovereign Warrior (4-1) defeated turf route claimers at Parx June 25 and landed the place behind a hot rival at Delaware Park last time. He figures to stalk wide and must be respected in his current form.
