Top pick: #10 (VALLEY FOG) - He broke his maiden here on July 15th and has been racing evenly facing starter-allowance foes in his last three starts. Trainer Dean Peterson drops him down, cuts him back in distance, goes turf to "poly", and has his blinkers removed after a one race experience.
2nd pick: #8 (The Hunt is On) - He's been at this condition a very long time, but has finished second in all three local appearances and is a stretch threat at a nice price.
3rd pick: #6 (Chop House George) - Has a lot of physical issues, but has been sharp in his last pair and has some back class to call upon.
4th pick: #9 (Full Deputy) - He's one for one locally and didn't seem to care for the dirt at santa Anita last out. Speed/stalker fits with these and is a threat with his best.
