Top pick: #6 (ARABIAN LEOPARD) (3-1) - One of two from the Baffert barn and the pair race uncoupled. Grey colt by 'Scat Daddy' sold for $575,000 this past spring as a 2-year-old in training. He has an impressive work tab on view and looks all set for his debut.
2nd pick: #11 (Justin Squared) (4-1) - Also from the Baffert Stable, he's another that's working fast for his debut. Grey colt appears to have worked from the gate with 'Arabian Leopard' Aug 22 and he was 2-lengths behind that rival in a very fast time. Must be left in the win mix.
3rd pick: #9 (Silent Movies) (10-1) - Good first out barn (John Sadler 22%) has this $170K purchase traing steadily here for his debut. His has several quick a.m. drills mixed in with many of the stamina building type.
4th pick: #7 (Tristan's Trilogy) (4-1) - Grey son of 'Scat Daddy' cost $530K this past March and has been prepared for his first start at San Luis Rey Downs. In a capable barn (Peter Miller) and Victor Espinoza is signed on.
5th pick: #10 (Frank Conversation) (6-1) - Another well bred ('Quality Road') first-time-starter, his works are sharp and he's from the O'Neill barn.
