Top pick: #1 (TRIBAL DUDE) (5-1) - Colt takes a huge drop in class, moves from turf to poly, and breaks from the rail with blinkers added. Speed/stalker has disappointed a number of times, but can break his maiden in this career soft spot.
2nd pick: #5 (Superboot) (3-1) - He's another that's dropping down, and just like "Dude" is going from turf to "poly." Speedy sort has been competitive in three straight when facing tougher and is a win candidate in his synthetic debut.
3rd pick: #8 (Pioneer Charlie) (6-1) - Price play ships in from Arlington Park where he's been working fast on a similar surface to this. In a winning barn (Mike Stidham), this colt has the returning Raf Bejarano aboard and is racing for the first time sincer Dec. 19.
4th pick: #4 (Direct Asset) (5-2) - Very fast from the gate, he set quick fractions ad tired late to finish third when racing at Santa Anita for a $50K tag on June 8th. Given some time to recover, she's worked three times since and takes a sizable drop in class.
