Top pick: #5 (CAPT SPARROW) - Veteran stretches back out after a win at Hollywood racing for $8000 going 7 furlongs on July 9. Race came in his second off a Bob Diodoro claim and he's won at this distance before. Has fine early speed and is the choice in a competitive contest.
2nd pick: #10 (Whirling Thunder) - Drops and goes to turf to the main-track for trainer Mike Mitchell. Runs third off a three month break and in a career soft spot this afternoon. Strong factor in here.
3rd pick: #3 (Man Chester Man) - Races first off a Pete Miller claim and he brings him back in 14 days with a small rise in value. He raced evenly here that day and it was his first ever on a synthetic surface. Price play.
