Top pick: #9 (SEEK SAFE HARBOR) (2-1) - Filly is the main speed and is racing off a Pete Miller claim (a 23% winning angle). Working well for her first since July 9, and she draws a fine outside post at this distance to get an early lead. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Gucci Brown) (3-1) - Daughter of 'Big Brown' finished 4th of eight, beaten just over three lengths racing here for twice this price tag July 19. A positive effort, it was her first in California after racing seven times in the Midwest. Drops, has Bejarano aboard, and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Myrna Lou) (12-1) - She's racing first off a Bob Diodoro claim (26%) and third back from a 2 1/2 month break. Stakes winner facing fellow Arizona breds in the past, she has the rail, and may grab a piece of this at a big price.
4th pick: #4 (Pocketfullofgreen) (6-1) - Lightly raced filly drops in half and has blinkers added. Fits with her best, and she had a legitimate excuse last out facing tougher.
