Top pick: #4 (PEARL DADDY) - Gelding chased an impressive winner when debuting at Calder April 20th and he held gamely to finish second. Races today off a 70 day break and for a new trainer (Vlad Cerin). Bejarano is aboard and this shipper had a bullet half-mlie gate breeze on June 24th. Looks all set in his west coast debut.
2nd pick: #7 (Primed and Ready) - He's making his debut and has a pair of sharp back-to-back local drills. Capable first out barn (Pete Miller 17%) and Marty Garcia is in the irons.
3rd pick: #2 (Ridiculo) - Good first out barn (Jeff Mullins 225) sends out this son of "Ghostzapper" who has a series of steady local works.
