Top pick: #8 (IRISH CORAL) - Golden Gate shipper is lightly raced and is training fast locally for his first effort against winners. Three-year-old broke his maiden up north in late Mar. and races at a low level this afternoon. Speed/stalker can win this with his best.
2nd pick: #3 (Bold Type) - Gelding raced evenly here at this price May 28th in his first start since early Sept. at Del Mar. Good small barn (Sean McCarthy) has worked him twice since and 4-year-old gets a positive trainer change to Pat Valenzuela. His two best races have come on this surface and he can factor today at a big price.
