Gelding also had some traffic issues that afternoon and can win this from his advantageous inside post with a clean break and trip.
2nd pick: #5 (Savrola) (3-1) - Very consistent shipper is nicely spotted for his So. California debut. 3yo has gone 9-2-2-3 up North and finished a sold 3rd facing tougher at Pleasanton July 9. That was his first ever on conventional dirt and it earned him a career best figure. It's noted that his connections have Bejarano signed on.
3rd pick: #4 (Spanish Eyes) (4-1) - Freshened up since May 28, he missed by a 'neck' at Santa Anita that afternoon racing at this claiming price and distance. He's improved since being claimed by Jerry Hollendorfer in late March, and leading rider apprentice Roman is back on the re-ride.
