Top pick: #6 (ROCK OFF) - Colt by "Rock Hard Ten" has been bet in all three starts and has been competitive in each. Freshened-up for the past 7 weeks by trainer Julio Canani, 3yo is working nicely and will race on a synthetic surface and try two-turns, both for the first time. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Admission) - He missed by a neck at this level and distance July 30 in his 2nd back off an 8 1/2 month layoff. Race was his best yet, he's worked twice since, and the probable favorite would be no surprise.
3rd pick: #5 (War Element) - Well bet when debuting this past January on the Santa Anita turf, he broke "slowly" and finished well to check-in 4th of 10. Working very fast on this strip for his return and must be left in the mix.
