Top pick: #1 (DEVOUR) - It's another race where trainer Doug O'Neill has two horses entered that will race uncoupled. This gelding was sharp in a trio of starts at the end of 2010 and early into "11". Has the rail, a one run style, and has an excellent work at Santa Anita Jul8 that should have him ready to roll. The top pick.
2nd pick: #5 (Stu's Gone Wild) - Speedster was involved in a very fast pace-duel last out and tored during the stretch run to finish a distant 3rd. Drops slightly and "P.Val" will have him involved from start to finish.
3rd pick: #7 (Sir Ed) - The 2nd of the O'Neill pair is lightly raced and takes a big drop today. Claimed in late May for $16K, he chased and tired facing $35K foes June 19 in his first for the new barn. Drops under the purchase price this afternoon and is a win candidate.
