Top pick: #7 (MEADOW ROAD) - Improving son of "Dixie Union" finished second at this level on the Santa Anita dirt last out and did so with blinkers on for the first time. Bred to handle the grass and that's where Rich Mandella will run him this afternoon. The top choice.
2nd pick: #6 (Guest Star) - Son of "Storm Cat" had a useful debut going "down the hill" at Santa Anita when re rallied while between runners to finish fourth. Freshened-up for almost two months by trainer John Shirreffs, colt is trainng fast.
3rd pick: #9 (Rock Off) - Colt by "Rock Hard Ten" took some money in his debut and finished fifth, beaten just over two lengths in a race cross town in a contest down the hill. Working fast since and he's a win threat.
