Top pick: #5 (TOSHEEN) (8-1) - Longshot is shortening up in distance after finishing 3rd going 6.5-furlongs at Santa Anita June 13. In shape speed/stalker is moving up a bit in class but in his present form has a solid shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #2 (Roy H) (5-2) - The probable favorite, $310K son of 'More Than Ready' has been freshened up since breaking his maiden going 'down the hill' at Santa Anita May 31. Heavily favored in both starts, colt is working fast and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Rule He Will) (7-2) - Since tiring in his debut at Golden Gate Fields Feb 7, 4yo by 'Tribal Rule' has gone 4-2-2-0. Both wins have come on the Santa Anita dirt and this 4yo will be trying the grass for the first time. He had a big bullet 5-furlong work on the main track here July 16. Dangerous if he adopts to the new footing.
4th pick: #6 (Eddie's First) (6-1) - Speed/stalker moves back to the grass after finishing 2nd last out on the Los Alamitos dirt. All three wins have come on the turf and he's one for one at this distance.
