Top pick: #11 (DIABLO CABALLERO) (9-2) - Very consistent sort rallied from far back to miss by a 'nose' going 'down the hill' at Santa Anita June 27. It was his first start since Oct. 13th, and he's the horse to beat if able to avoid a wide trip.
2nd pick: #7 (Over Par) (5-1) - Reddam home bred rallied to finish 2nd at this level and distance June 20 at Santa Anita. Solid effort, and he appears to be getting better at this point. In the win mix.
3rd pick: #9 (Heat) (7-2) - Home bred stretches out in distance after rallying to finish a fast closing 4th of 12, beaten just under a length going 6.5-furlongs when debuting June 27 at Santa Anita.
4th pick: #5 (All Deuce) (20-1) - Speedy sort has disappointed in his last pair after finishing 2nd in four straight prior to that. He has early speed and should be involved most of the way at a big price.
5th pick: #3 (Unusualy) (15-1) - He had a very wide trip after breaking from a tough outside post June 20. 3yo was 5-lengths behind 'Over Par' that afternoon and draws a much better starting slot for this attempt. May grab a share at long odds.
