Top pick: #6 (BOAT TRIP) - Undefeated (3-for-3) since trainer Mike Pender switched him to the turf, last out he rallied from just off the pace to win the $74K Tsunami Slew stakes racing at this mile distance at Hollywood June 22nd. Working fine since and he gets the call in a tough race.
2nd pick: #1 (Koast) - Speedy colt is (4-3-0-1) since switching to the grass and they've all come going shorter distances. Has the rail, is working sharply, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Blingo) - Strong finisher won the La Puente stakes racing on the Santa Anita turf April 20th, then was away slowly and never involved last out in the (G3) Affirmed racing on the all-weather main track there. Moves back to the turf and is a major factor.
