- Elusive Image Eastern Equine Stein J
Won an Allowance here in April going 1 mile 3/16 on the dirt course, with J Stein aboard. Then he shipped into PIM for the Grade III PIM Special where he was at odds of 6 to 1 and finished fourth by two lengths. Trying to face same competition today, and gets Stein back in the saddle. His SRF number is 95.5.
- Stars And Bars Team 7 Illusions Boulanger G
Has been running against NY Breds in his last three races, and only has one win under his belt. Three back he was at AQU in a sprint for Maidens where he finished second by a length. His next race was a NY Bred Allowance where he won in the slop over a mile by two lengths. His last race was in the $200.000 NY Bred Commentator at BEL where it was muddy and he finished third by a length. Takes a decent step up today, so I expect this to be a challenge. His SRF number is 93.5.
- Red Crimson Mo Mentum Farm Da Silva E R
Has won his last three races, and was just purchased for $62.410 in the June auction. He has won an Optioanl Calimer $32.000 Non Winners of 3 races, then went on to win an Open Allowance $20.400 Non Winners of 4 races Lifetime. His last win came in May where he won an Open Allowance for $50.000. Takes a step up in class today, and is hoping to capture the gold for his new owner. His SRF number is 95.

- Salt Lake City Boomtown Contreras L
His last win came in the Donn Handicap Grade I event at GP in February. Then went on to strike out in the CT Classic Grade II event in April at CT, and finished sixth most recently in the Eclipse Grade II event at WO. He seems like he fits well here, but his last two races may say something different. His SRF number is 94.5.
- Wandering LionKing Stables Olguin G L
Was sold in the June auction for $25.000 and makes his debut for his new connections. He has won his last three races all at PEN for Free (No Purse Money). This is always a tough call as he has 4 wins, 2 places, and 1 show in 8 starts, and $0.00 in purse money. I’m going to pass. He doesn’t earn a SRF number.
- High Pride Mb Stables Moran D
Hottest jock at WO with a 32% and he climbs aboard a 10 to 1 shot. High Pride won his last two races at this distance, one was right here in May against Open Allowance company for a purse of $70.500 in a four horse field. Prior to that he won an Optional Claimer $25.000 Non Winners of 3 Races at PRX. I think with D Moran aboard, he should be bet down, and place well here. His SRF number is 95.5.
Iwin picks: 8/3/7
