Top pick: #1 (STREET SERENADE) (5-2) - Speedy gelding is racing first off a Paulo Lobo claim and this well bred 5-year-old is racing third back from a two month break. He has the rail and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Two Is to Many) (4-1) - Hard hitter has had all of his success on conventional dirt (32-7-5-3) and was a much classier type at one time. Stalker is racing first off a re-claim by Tim Yakteen and he adds blinkers for this attempt. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Format V) (2-1) - The morning line favorite enters off a win at Del Mar for a $12.5K tag on Aug. 17. It was his first off a Steve Miyadi claim and the first time this ten-time winner scored on real dirt. The faster the pace, the better his chances.
