Top pick: #4 (GUTSHOT STRAIGHT) - He finished a close-up fourth in his debut in late April and has gone (4-2-2-0) since and is a head and a nose shy of being 4-for-4. Very fast out of the gate, he has a stalking gear if necessary and "crushed" a field at Hollywood 22 days ago. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Polly's Dancer) - He ran a career best last out when winning at Hollywood two weeks ago. Has the rail, a flexible style, and still has room for upside.
3rd pick: #7 (Blingboy) - Consistent sort was a winner at the Pleasanton Fair last out and was claimed that afternoon by Brian Koriner for $16K. Goes dirt to "Poly" for this, but has an excellent mark on synthetics (8-2-1-3). Can factor today.
