Top pick: #4 (SHERMAN BARTLEBORT) - He's won two in a row, a maiden win on the Golden Gate "poly" on June 10, and last out he was victorious in a $62K stakes on the Pleasanton dirt. He's worked twice since and Bejarano replaces Francisco Duran for this $100K contest.
2nd pick: #2 (Rousing Sermon) - Colt was sharp in his debut stalking early, bidding when asked, and drawing away to win by 1 1/2 lengths at Hollywood June 5. He has a trio of fine local works and with Bejarano on "Sherman", Hollendorfer names Rosario. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Pend Oreille) - Colt won his debut April 30 facing "open" company, then finished a tiring 4th in the G3 Hollywood Juvenile Championship just 17 days ago again facing "open" company. This marks his first start against fellow Cal-breds and he's a win candidate.
