Top pick: #7 (JOHAN) - Price play raced both wide and evenly here at this price August 16th and draws a better post for this attempt. This is his fourth start at this meet and he's set up for a competitive try.
2nd pick: #8 (Light Up) - Debuting gelding from the Baffert barn (27% first out) is working very fast and this $400K 3-year-old by "Lemon Drop Kid" faces a weak field. The probable favorite, he'd be no surprise.
3rd pick: #1 (Mary Helen's Storm) - Drops, has the rail, goes second off a four month layoff, and he has some speed. Price play.
4th pick: #11 (Sparkle Joel) - Stalker draws outside of the speed types and has raced evenly in both starts at this meet. Capable of impacting today at an expected square price.
