Top pick: #3 (CALIFORNIA COLONEL) - Has the best early speed and he takes a significant drop this afternoon. In the Mullin's barn (trainer of record is assistant Ral Ayers) and colt moves from turf to "poly" to go along with the drop. The top selection.
2nd pick: #1 (Sheekey) - Moves to the rail after a wide trip last out when he wasn't beaten mich. Lightly raced and in a good barn (Bob Hess). Contender today.
3rd pick: #6 (Romance is Family) - The probable favorite finished a fast-closing second last out here at this level and distance. Has a nice drill since and he's in the dangerous barn of Mike Mitchell. Contender.
