Top pick: #7 (FLY HIGH) (9-5) - Gelding by "Malibu Moon" cost $500K and is dropped into a claimer for the first time by trainer Bob Baffert. 4-year-old cuts back in distance, has blinkers added, and meets a weak field. He should have enough talent to beat this crew.
2nd pick: #1 (Dashing Ash ) (7-2) - The probable front runner, he's working fast for his first since April 13th and has one of the best speed jocks in the business (Marty Pedroza) aboard for this attempt. This 4-year-old will be sent hard from his inside post and is dangerous.
3rd pick: #3 (Dark Timbers) (6-1) - He regressed last out when finishing a distant fourth at this level here on June 1st. He'd been competitive in his first three starts and can grab a share with a repeat of any of those attempts.
4th pick: #6 (Supersonic Heat) (12-1) - Longshot runs third back off a nine month layoff and ran evenly in his latest. Can impact here and grab a share of this at a big price.
