Top pick: #4 (DADSALITTLEUNUSUAL) - Freshened-up since April 17th by trainer Mike Mitchell, veteran has been competitive in all his races since dropping down under $25K in price. Trainer is always good off of layoffs and he names Garret Gomez. Trainer/jockey combination wins at a 38% rate when teamed-up.
2nd pick: #1 (One Shot) - Speedy gelding draws the rail and comes into this off of a pair of sharp efforts at this price at Hollywood Park. He has a "bullet" work on July 12th that indicates he remains in top shape. Front-end threat.
3rd pick: #5 (Kaffeinator) - Reclaimed recently by trainer John Sadler after barn lost him for two races. Lightly raced gelding by "Kafwain" was headed in the right direction before the claim and is working sharply since the re-claim. Contender from just off the lead.
