Top pick: #8 (ART OFFICIAL) (3-1) - Gelding by "Unusual heat" ships back from Golden Gate Fields where he was beaten a head and a neck in a pair of grass starts facing "open" special weights. Back with his original trainer Pete Miller, and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Star Rocker) (5-2) - The main danger, he's gone (6-0-1-5) racing on dirt & "poly" and is bred to handle the grass. Working fast for his first since Dec. 31, and a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Troy Story) (4-1) - He's been competitive against tougher fields than this in the past, and is training fine for his first since May 10. Contends in this spot.
4th pick: #5 (Heat Flash) (6-1) - Longshot has some late kick and would benefit if a fast and/or contested pace were to develop.
