Top pick: #2 (SUMMER FRONT) (9-5) - The probable favorite, he enters off a solid second place finish in the G1 "Shoemaker" mile at Santa Anita on June 14, and the extra furlong he travels today is in his favor. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Spring Up) (6-1) - One of two entered by the Sadler barn, colt is in career best shape and strong finisher is working fast for this attempt. Has the rail, he's two for five at this distance, and is a threat at a square price.
3rd pick: #4 (Horizontallyspeakin) (3-1) - The second of the Sadler pair, has fine early speed and the turf course has been favoring front runners so far at this young meet. He's never beaten this kind, but his speed must be respected.
4th pick: #6 (Tom's Tribute) (2-1) - Stakes veteran was only a 1/2 length back of "Summer Front" last out, and he's finished second in both previous local grass starts. A stretch threat, but think he'll be over-bet.
