No. 7 Wolfie’s Dynaghost (4-1) is a first time gelding exiting the graded stakes ranks. Irad Ortiz Jr. hops aboard the early-pressing type and he owns competitive speed ratings. 

No. 2 Largent (7-5) got back on the beam in a gritty local win vs. restricted stakes foes July 11. He fired exacta shots in all five turf starts at this distance and should make his presence felt throughout. 

No. 3 Kendama (9-2) was part of the trifecta in his last five turf routes. The consistent gelding can rally for a share.
