Top pick: #3 (LAST ONE STANDING) (5-2) - NEW gelding raced evenly here for twice this tag when debuting July 17. Away slowly that afternoon, trainer Pete Miller (20% second time out) drops him down into a weak spot where he should prevail.
2nd pick: #4 (Panther Creek) (4-1) - Lone Star Park shipper raced evenly there when debuting in a 5-furlong contest facing fellow Texas breds June 18. Bet heavily that afternoon, he's training fast since shipping west and races with blinkers on. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Greyson and John) (10-1) - Debuting long shot has been in steady training at Los Alamitos since early June. This field isn't all that strong for the tag and he has a shot at a big price.
4th pick: #6 (True Ranger) (4-1) - Home bred ships in from Monmouth where he finished third for a $30K tag July 12. He showed some early speed that day and races of a private trainer change to Dan Hendricks.
