Top pick: #8 (SWEET PROFIT) (5-2) - She's racing third off a six month layoff and will be dropping in class while shortening up in distance. Working fast, 4yo showed some life last out, and draws a good post at this trip.
2nd pick: #7 (Gucci Brown) (8-1) - Longshot is part of the Midwest based contingent of trainer Mike Stidham, who is racing at Del Mar for the first time. He's already won a pair, and this 3yo by 'Big Brown' has finished 3rd in both previous starts on 'wet' tracks.
3rd pick: #3 (Pocketfullofgreen) (10-1) - Speedy and lightly raced, she's racing first off a Bob Hess, Jr. claim. He drops her a bit and has her racing without blinkers for the first time. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #4 (Kristinite) (4-1) - Grey filly has been freshened up for the past seven weeks. Barn has her working fast and shortens her up in distance. Strong finisher has been competitive the last two times she raced on conventional dirt.
